Description
1867 With Rays Shield Nickel, PR65
A Classic Proof Rarity
1867 5C Rays PR65 NGC. Dannreuther-3. The With Rays 1867
proof Shield nickel is the key to the series. The recorded mintage,
those coins sold as part of silver proof sets, is only 25 pieces,
although small numbers of additional coins were struck on later
occasions. It is believed that approximately 50 to 60 examples are
known today, which belies the inflated NGC and PCGS certified
populations which suggest a combined survival of 88 pieces in all
grades. In the Guide Book of Shield and Liberty Head
Nickels, Bowers writes: "The 1867 With Rays Proof is a classic
rarity. Probably no more than several dozen or so are known today
..." This Gem example is boldly struck, with reflective fields that
are slightly muted in their mirroring by dusky olive-gold toning
that encompasses each side. No distracting marks are present and
the overall appeal is pleasing. Census: 7 in 65, 0 finer
(6/15).From The Greensboro Collection, Part V.(Registry values: N10218)
