Proof Shield Nickels
1876 5C PR67 PCGS. CAC. The 1876 proof Shield nickel is readily available through PR65, but it becomes scarce in PR66 and is a major rarity at the Superb Gem level. This high-end Registry coin displays full detail in the shield, wreath, and stars, with deep reflectivity in the fields. A light blush of champagne toning graces each side. No distractions appear beneath a loupe. Population: 3 in 67 (1 in 67+), 0 finer. CAC: 3 in 67, 0 finer (11/16).
