1877 Shield Nickel, PR65
Necessary for a Complete Date Set

1877 5C PR65 PCGS. CAC. An important issue in the series, the 1877 Shield nickels were not struck at all for circulation, leaving collectors to vie for 900 proofs that were struck to represent the date in their sets. Today, it is the key to the date series and a conditionally challenged issue as well. This is a scarce Gem representative, housed in an old green label holder with CAC endorsement. Pale-gold and attractive lilac toning combine on both sides for strong eye appeal. The strike is sharp on the frosty motifs, with the obverse more reflective in the fields than the reverse. PCGS has seen just 40 numerically finer proofs (11/16).(Registry values: N2998)
