1875 Shield Nickel. MS-66 (PCGS). CAC.
A delicate sky-blue hue accents the silver gray surfaces of this lovely Gem. Satiny, pearlescent luster blankets each side remaining virtually unbroken under scrutiny. The peripheries exhibit a spidering of cracks thatching the design elements, but the devices are overall bold despite the fatigued state of the dies. This jewel represents the most pristine survivors of the issue, and would be ideal for inclusion in a high grade type or date set.
