Description

1883 Shield Nickel PR65 NGC. A large proof mintage of 5,419 Shield nickels was produced in 1883, the last year of the design. Proofs of this design continued to be minted throughout 1883, even though the Liberty Head design appeared early in the year. The present coin shows sharp striking details, especially on the reverse stars. Only a few dark spots on the obverse surfaces prevent an even higher grade.
