Description
1879 Shield Nickel, PR68
Sole Example at Either Service
1879 5C PR68 NGC. A total of 3,200 proof Shield nickels were
struck in 1879 plus 25,900 circulation strikes, and today the
finest-graded survivors of the circulation strikes are three in
MS67, all at NGC. For the proof strikes, this is the sole PR68
example graded at either service (12/14). The surfaces are gray
with the palest hint of lavender, and they appear fully worthy of a
Cameo designation as well, although there is none. The strike is
remarkably sharp and the subsequent preservation is
impeccable.(Registry values: N4719)Coin Index Numbers: (NGC ID# 22PG, PCGS# 3833, GSID# 2931)
