1868 Shield Nickel, PR66 Cameo
Bright, Problem-Free Striking

1868 5C PR66 Cameo PCGS. CAC. In spite of a mintage of only 600 proofs, at least two die pairings were used. The planchet quality of this proof is remarkably bright and problem-free, compared to earlier years and even compared to the business strikes from this year. Strong mint luster is seen over the devices and sets up the cameo effect against the illimitable depth of reflectivity in the fields. Population: 13 in 66 Cameo, 0 finer (12/13).(Registry values: N2998)

Coin Index Numbers: (NGC ID# 276J, PCGS# 83822, GSID# 2899)

Metal: 75% Copper, 25% Nickel
Weight: 5.00 grams
