1866 Shield Nickel. Rays. JD-1, the only known dies. Rarity-3-. Proof-65 (PCGS). CAC. OGH.
Dusted with iridescent golden-gray, this is a charming Gem with sharp striking detail in most areas and a lovely semi-reflective finish. The 1866 is the first Proof nickel five-cent issue in U.S. coinage history, and by far the more obtainable of the brief Shield, Rays design. The offered coin will have no difficulty finding its way into a high grade type set.
PCGS# 3817. NGC ID: 276G.
