Description
1870 Nickel, PR66
Beautiful Iridescent Rim Toning
1870 5C PR66 PCGS. Beautiful iridescent rim toning on this
delightful Premium Gem proof 1870 Shield nickel includes pale
pastel orange, ice-blue, and canary hues. The sharp strike and lack
of distractions create excellent eye appeal.Population Data (7/14): PCGS reports 15 in PR66 (including one PR66+) and none finer in the designation. NGC shows 15 PR66 with none finer.
Heritage Commentary: The 1870 date is not at the forefront of rarities within the Shield nickel series, but circulation-strike and proof Shield nickels of this date are nonetheless hard to find with nice surfaces. This lovely proof is a noteworthy exception that should be the object of much bidder interest when it crosses the auction block. Quality such as this speaks for itself.
