Description

1870 Shield Nickel--Improperly Cleaned--NGC. Proof. The 1870 proof Shield nickel boasts a low mintage of 1,000 pieces. The present specimen was struck on a slightly granular planchet, as often seen on this date. The dies were excessively polished, causing some letters (see S in STATES) to be incomplete. Some details in the shield and peripheral devices were also weakened by the polishing.
