Shield Nickels
1871 5C MS65 PCGS. CAC. A satiny nickel-gray Gem with unabraded surfaces and pleasing eye appeal. The 1871 is seldom offered this fine and is genuinely rare in higher grades. The present example shows strike weakness on the stars and horizontal shield stripes. Housed in a first generation holder with CAC endorsement. Population: 36 in 65 (3 in 65+), 14 finer. CAC: 15 in 65, 8 finer (9/17).
