Description du lot

1867 Shield Nickel. Rays. MS-65 (PCGS). A satiny, brilliant and uncommonly well struck early date nickel five-cent piece with sharp to full detail throughout the design. The second of only two Shield nickel issues of the Rays design type, the 1867 is far scarcer than the 1866 in all grades. This is understandable given the differences in mintages for the two issues (14,742,500 vs. 2,019,000 circulation strikes). Both dates are equally challenging to locate with the strong strike and fulsome luster offered here, this coin also significant due to its solid Gem surface preservation and strong eye appeal. Lovely! PCGS Population: 48; 14 finer (MS-67 finest). PCGS# 3791. NGC ID: 22NY. Click here for certification details from PCGS.
