Low Mintage 1871 Nickel, MS65

1871 5C MS65 NGC. The skimpy mintage of the 1871 Shield nickel was only 561,000 coins, and few Gems survive today. This fortunate example boasts pinkish-gold patina over problem-free surfaces that show considerable field-device contrast. An attractive coin for this seldom-seen issue.
