Proof Shield Nickels
1877 5C PR65 Ultra Cameo NGC. A popular proof-only issue with a mintage of 900 pieces, the 1877 Shield nickel is typically seen with a satiny appearance rather than deeply prooflike mirroring. Ultra/Deep Cameos are rare. This Gem is one of only eight Ultra/Deep Cameos in all grades at NGC and PCGS combined. The strike is sharp, and each side displays brilliant, stark white-on-black contrast and deep mirroring. Eye appeal far surpasses that of most other 1877 proofs that we have seen. Census: 3 in 65 Ultra Cameo, 2 finer (9/17).
