Proof Shield Nickels
1877 5C PR66 Cameo NGC. A well-struck Gem with undeniable Cameo contrast and light olive-gold patina. A tiny contact mark follows the S in CENTS and serves as a pedigree identifier. The first of two consecutive proof-only issues, the 1877 is much scarcer than the 1878. Cameo-designated representatives are particularly elusive. Census: 64 in 66 Cameo (3 in 66 ★), 4 finer (10/16).
Ex: New York Bullet Sale (Heritage, 7/2002), lot 419; Long Beach Bullet Sale (Heritage, 9/2002), lot 478; Long Beach Signature (Heritage, 9/2003), lot 5948.
