1866 Pattern Shield Nickel. Judd-504, Pollock-589. Rarity-7-. Nickel. Plain Edge. Proof-66 Cameo (PCGS). CAC. 45.99 grains. Obv: regular-issue die of the type. Rev: UNITED STATES OF AMERICA around a laurel wreath, "Short 5" within. <strong><em>The Eliasberg specimen. </em></strong>This intensely brilliant Gem Proof features deeply mirrored fields and frosted devices with pale champagne-gold iridescence. The strike is needle-sharp and the eye appeal is fantastic. The <em>uspatterns.com </em>website calls this: "The regular Shield design combined with the Short 5 reverse," and relates that&nbsp;"about a half dozen are known in nickel." <strong><em>Tied for finest Cameo Proof of the variety certified by PCGS. </em></strong>Not only is the coin physically sound and aesthetically appealing but the Eliasberg provenance adds greatly to the desirability.
