Description
Impressive PR66 1866 Rays Nickel
1866 5C Rays MS66 PCGS. CAC. A brilliant and lustrous Gem with a bold strike and impressive preservation. The upper and lower obverse rims display multiple die cracks, as struck, while the reverse has wispy die cracks throughout the peripheral legends. Slender die striations (as made) are seen beneath the left vertical shield lines and bisect the reverse. This first-year issue was plagued by striking problems, leading to the removal of the rays between the stars, on the reverse. Some striking irregularity in this region is seen on the current example, but, along with the previously mentioned "as struck" features, this does not affect the coin's technical grade. Therefore, we rely on luster (excellent), surface preservation (nearly flawless), and overall eye appeal (splendid), to determine the premium quality status of this conditionally scarce example.
