Description
1879/8 Shield Nickel, PR68
Popular Guide Book Variety
1879/8 5C PR68 PCGS. The remnants of an undertype 8 (or
possibly a 9) are clearly visible below the final digit in the date
on this spectacular PR68 example, which in itself is an unusual,
but not unprecedented, occurrence in U.S. coinage history. The
overdate aside, this is among the most impressively preserved
specimens that could be imagined for the issue. While contrast is
slight, owing to the luminous lavender-blue and peach patina over
each side, the mirrors retain considerable gleam, particularly on
the reverse. Faintly frosted devices offer characteristically
complete detail. Population: 8 in 68, 1 finer (2/22).Ex: Central States Signature (Heritage, 4/2011), lot 5045; Dallas Signature (Heritage, 12/2019), lot 3030.(Registry values: N4719)
