Description
1871 Shield Nickel, PR68 Ultra Cameo
Sole Finest Ultra Cameo Certified
1871 5C PR68 Ultra Cameo NGC. The proof 1871 Shield nickel
is relatively plentiful overall, although it is remarkably rare in
Ultra or Deep Cameo. PCGS and NGC combined report only five Ultra
or Deep Cameo pieces, and of these the present coin is the sole
finest by a margin of nearly two grade points. Brilliant, starkly
contrasted surfaces show sharp definition and virtually flawless
preservation. The field-device contrast is appreciable even without
a loupe. We have seen only one other Deep Cameo piece in nearly two
decades -- a PCGS PR66 Deep Cameo that appeared in our April 2015
Central States Signature. The present coin is in a class of its
own. Census: 1 in 68 Ultra Cameo, 0 finer (8/22).(Registry values: P2)Coin Index Numbers: (NGC ID# 276M, PCGS# 93825, GSID# 2909)
