Shield Nickels
1879 5C MS64 ANACS. A swath of subtle reddish-orange toning angles across the shield and glows beneath lilac overtones throughout the satiny surfaces of this scarce 1879 nickel. Business strikes were in short supply then as well as now -- a result of the small 25,900-piece mintage. The fields show minor reflectivity and occasional flecks of cloudy gray toning. A sharply struck, Choice Uncirculated coin and very scarce this original.
