1879/8 Shield Nickel. JD-1. Rarity-1. Proof-67 Cameo (PCGS).
Even close examination fails to reveal any trace of toning or patina on either side. The surfaces are exceptional and ice-white throughout. Smooth and carefully preserved overall, there is sharp cameo contrast between the fields and devices. One of the very few overdates known on a Proof issue of any denomination, adding considerably to the desirability of this issue. The grade is simply outstanding as is the eye appeal. A numismatic feast for the eyes.
