Description
Well Defined 1866 Rays Nickel, MS66
1866 5C Rays MS66 NGC. This lustrous high grade piece is attractively toned in delicate silver-blue and tan-gold shades. The Mint's difficulties with the nickel alloy are apparent on many examples of this first-year issue. The dies were unable to stand up to the pressure of striking the hard planchets. On the present piece, there is a lengthy obverse rim die break between 7 and 9 o'clock. Still, the design elements exhibit sharper-than-average definition. There are no mentionable marks or spots to report. Census: 22 in 66, 0 finer (7/08).(Registry values: N2998)Coin Index Numbers: (NGC ID# 22NX, PCGS# 3790, GSID# 2868)
