Losbeschreibung

A popular Centennial year issue then and now, the Proof 1876 Shield nickel has a generous mintage of approximately 1,500 pieces. More than 1,200 of these are believed extant (per John W. Dannreuther, 2023), although the average grade among survivors is a bit lower for this issue than other Proofs of the type due to widespread distribution to non-collectors among contemporary Americans. Offered here is an extraordinary strike and condition rarity that combines a nicely cameoed finish with virtually pristine surfaces. Bright, brilliant and fully defined, even the most discerning numismatists will be impressed with this gorgeous Superb Gem.
