Description

1873 Shield Nickel, PR67 Cameo
Closed 3

1873 5C Closed 3 PR67 Cameo NGC. This high-grade example was struck on a well-produced planchet that shows very little granularity. The mintage for the 1873 proof nickel is uncertain, but estimated widely between 1,100 and 1,650 pieces. All are of the Closed 3 variant. The deeply mirrored fields contrast nicely against the softly frosted devices, and each side shows just the slightest bit of iridescence over the otherwise brilliant finish. Census: 5 in 67 Cameo (1 in 67 ), 0 finer (10/19).
