Lot 394
1878 Shield Nickel. PCGS graded Proof 67. Lovely rainbow toning. Only 2,350 Proofs struck for this Proof only date. A very fresh and lustrous Superb Proof that you can use as a benchmark for other examples that share this towering Proof 67 grade. While the strike is forthright and crisp, it is only reasonable to call it 100% full, and without doubt few of the shield, wreath or star details are left to the imagination, they all stand forth in bold relief. The great army of potential buyers will have to fight tooth and nail to win it for the one successful bidder's collection. Mark this one down as a Must Have lot in the sale. Pop 14; none finer at PCGS. (PCGS # 3832) .
Estimated Value $1,800 - 2,000.
