Description

1878 Shield Nickel. Proof-66 (PCGS). CAC.
Fully impressed satin to semi-reflective surfaces exhibit a bright silver-white appearance that borders on pristine. One of the most eagerly sought issues in the Shield nickel series of 1866 to 1883, the 1878 is a Proof-only affair with just 2,350 pieces produced. All of these coins were distributed to the contemporary public as part of the year's minor coin Proof sets, which also included an example of the Proof 1878 Indian cent and Proof 1878 nickel three-cent piece. Some of these sets, in turn, were included in the year's silver Proof sets. Survivors have long been popular with advanced numismatists, this being one of the nicest that we have offered in recent sales.
PCGS# 3832. NGC ID: 276V.
