Description

1882 Shield Nickel, PR66
Rare Deep Cameo Example

1882 5C PR66 Deep Cameo PCGS. The mintage of 3,100 proofs suggests more high-grade pieces should exist, but PCGS and NGC each have seen just four Deep Cameo coins in Premium Gem condition or finer. This excellent example is framed by a thin margin of almond-gold toning. Fully struck devices show strong contrast with the deep, mirrored-silver fields. There are no carbon flecks or other marks, although a glass reveals some tiny, cloudy freckles across the surfaces. Population: 2 in 66 Deep Cameo, 2 finer (7/15).(Registry values: P1)

Coin Index Numbers: (NGC ID# 276Y, PCGS# 93837, GSID# 2942)

Metal: 75% Copper, 25% Nickel
Weight: 5.00 grams
Weight: 0.13228oz
