Description
1877 Shield Nickel, PR65 Cameo
Proof-Only Key Date
1877 5C JD-1, R.2, PR65 Cameo NGC. In 1877 the Treasury
postponed circulation strikes until the economy stabilized and
smaller denominations returned to relevance. Much of the 900 proofs
struck for collectors are available through PR65, but Cameo pieces
finer than PR66 are conditional rarities. This Gem Cameo proof is
fully brilliant and boldly struck on luminous devices that deliver
stark cameo contrast with the mirror-like fields. A few tiny fly
specks define the grade, but do not detract from the excellent eye
appeal.From The Brittany Legacy Collection, Part II.
