1877 Shield Nickel, PR66 Cameo
Challenging Proof-Only Date

1877 5C PR66 Cameo NGC. 1877 was the first of two consecutive proof-only dates. The mintage for the 1877 was much lower (900 pieces) than its 1878 successor, since the transition between the Trade and Morgan dollars encouraged proof set sales. The present high-grade 1877 nickel displays blushes of olive-gold toning on the lower obverse. The strike is full, the fields are mirrored, and there is no evidence of contact. Certified in a circa-2000 holder. Census: 65 in 66 Cameo (1 in 66+, 5 in 66★ ), 5 finer; 0 in 67 Ultra Cameo, 1 finer (2/19).(Registry values: N2998)
