Description

1882 Shield Nickel PR65 Cameo NGC. The 1882 proof Shield nickel is a plentiful date, due to its large mintage of 3,100 pieces. However, examples in PR65 Cameo are quite scarce. The present coin is sharply struck and deeply mirrored, aside from an area of porosity on the reverse, near the 5. Many coins of this date show the mysterious non-proof surface in this area. Census: 22 in 65 Cameo, 66 finer (3/10).
