Description du lot

Important Choice Proof 1867 Rays Shield Nickel 1867 Shield Nickel. Rays. Proof-64 (NGC). OH. Among Proof coins of the era, the 1867 With Rays Shield nickel is one of the most famous rarities. Only a few dozen exist overall, and although in recent times a small group has been parceled out in the marketplace, in other eras such offerings can be widely spaced. The present coin is a lovely example within the assigned grade. Here indeed is an important opportunity. Both sides are attractively toned, sharply struck and choice for the grade. There is a small planchet flaw (as struck) near the center of the shield on the obverse that should help establish the pedigree of this important Shield nickel rarity. PCGS# 3818. Provenance: From the Argo Collection.
