Description

NGC 1866 Rays PR 66. A rare and highly desirable 19th century proof type coin that is needed by all collectors of both nickel five-cent pieces and minor 19th century U.S. The surfaces of this piece are immaculate, showing no apparent contact marks. The only detracting feature we see is that the coin was struck on a slightly granular planchet. Still quite reflective, however, and showing the diagnostic center dot on the obverse. Mostly brilliant with just a hint of light golden peripheral patina. Population: 12 with 4 finer.
