Description
1878 Shield Nickel, PR66 Cameo
Low Mintage, Proof-Only Issue
1878 5C PR66 Cameo PCGS. The main draw for the 1878 Shield
nickel is its limited availability of only 2,350 pieces, all of
which were proofs. Their quality is variable, however, and in the
past some have even been listed as business strikes. This is one of
the better-produced examples, and it exhibits bright, sparkling
fields on each side. The devices display mint frost that is
sufficient to give the piece a pronounced cameo effect. Both
obverse and reverse are coated in a light layer of reddish-golden
patina, but the cameo contrast is evident through the light toning.
Population: 17 in 66 Cameo, 3 finer (4/10).(Registry values: P2)Coin Index Numbers: (NGC ID# 276V, PCGS# 83832, GSID# 2929)
