1870 Shield Nickel. MS-66 (PCGS). CAC.
Gorgeous satin surfaces are sharply struck with brilliant white surfaces. A relatively limited mintage of 4,806,000 circulation strikes confirms the 1870 as a scarcer issue from the earlier portion of the Shield nickel series. As an upper end Gem the present example is nothing short of rare from a condition standpoint.
