Shield Nickels
1881 5C MS64 PCGS. Gold CAC. The 1881 is more available in business strike format than the 1880, but is nonetheless very scarce due to a little-saved production of 68,800 pieces. Pale caramel-gold and olive-green toning drapes the lustrous obverse and satiny reverse. Well struck. Certified in a first generation holder.
