Proof Shield Nickels
1867 5C No Rays PR66+ PCGS. The first proof issue of the No Rays type, seldom seen in Premium Gem condition. This Plus-designated coin is the sole finest at PCGS (10/16). The strike is tack-sharp, with the relief elements rising boldly above deeply mirrored fields. Light champagne toning over each side reveals hints of pale rainbow color when tilted beneath a light. Population: 11 in 66 (1 in 66+), 0 finer (10/16).
