Proof Shield Nickels
1877 5C PR66 Cameo PCGS. Shield nickels were only struck in proof format in 1877, when a small total of 900 proof examples was produced. As might be expected, the issue is an elusive key to the series and high-grade specimens are rare. This impressive Premium Gem is among the finest survivors, with sharply detailed frosty design elements that contrast boldly with the deeply mirrored fields. PCGS has graded only nine numerically finer examples (10/17)
