1877 Nickel, Colorful PR64
Proof-Only Shield Nickel Issue

1877 5C PR64 PCGS. As a proof-only issue, the 1877 Shield nickel claims the smallest mintage of the series. A reported 900 pieces were struck for use in proof sets, although the actual mintage might have been slightly higher according to some researchers. This is near-Gem example, with ruby-red, orange, and lilac-gray toning that subdues any mirroring in the fields. The strike is pinpoint-sharp throughout both sides of this highly attractive and well-preserved proof. Housed in a first-generation "rattler" PCGS holder.
From The William Rehwald Proof Set Collection. (Registry values: N1793)
