Description
1866 Pattern Shield Nickel. Judd-507, Pollock-591. Rarity-5. Nickel. Plain Edge. Proof-66 (ANACS). OH.
Obv: The Shield design used to coin regular issue nickel five-cent pieces. Rev: The regular issue type without rays and with stars pointing between the letters E and N and between T and S in CENTS, as adopted in 1867. The pretty silver-gray surfaces of this Gem glisten with the softest golden hue in most areas, with traces of pale powder blue iridescence evident here and there. An exceptional sharpness is offered by the frosty devices which faintly contrast the surrounding icy shimmer in the fields. Magnification fails to reveal any noteworthy imperfections, further testifying to the angelic overall aesthetic. Here's an important transitional pattern struck in the composition intended for circulation.
PCGS# 60703. NGC ID: 29L6.
From the Springfield Collection. Earlier from an unrecorded Stack's auction, low 521.
