Shield Nickels
1875 5C MS66 PCGS. While its 2 million-coin mintage suggests otherwise, the 1875 Shield nickel is actually very rare in Premium Gem condition and unseen in higher grades. This Registry-quality offering presents magnificent gold and powder-blue patina with considerable brilliance remaining. The obverse is a touch soft, but the reverse is razor-sharp with a single tick on the denomination. Population: 15 in 66 (3 in 66+), 0 finer (7/17).
