Proof Shield Nickels
1877 5C PR64 PCGS. From a mintage of only 900 proofs, the 1877 Shield nickel is an acclaimed key to the series. No circulation strikes were produced that year, so collectors are obliged to obtain a proof strike to fill the date in their sets. Champagne-tinged surfaces are predictably fully struck. Minor flecks and carbon specks are undistracting.
