Proof Shield Nickels
1866 5C Rays PR66 PCGS. A translucent sheen of pale-gold covers both sides of this well-preserved Premium Gem proof. Gleaming, sharply struck surfaces show only minimal shallowness of the horizontal stripes, and the reflective fields are free of distracting lines or spots. The 1866 Rays proofs represent a two-year type in proof format, although the 1867 Rays proofs are much scarcer. PCGS has seen only a few finer 1866 Rays proofs. Population: 42 in 66 (2 in 66+), 1 finer; 37 in 66 (1 in 66+) Cameo, 3 finer; 3 in 66 (1 in 66+) Deep Cameo, 1 finer (10/17).
