Description

1878 Shield Nickel PR66 NGC. The small proof-only mintage of 2,350 pieces makes the 1878 Shield nickel one of the least available dates of the series. The present coin displays sharp definition on the design elements and exhibits the mostly brilliant lustrous surfaces usually seen on this issue. A wispy circle of light green toning is barely detectable on the obverse.
