Lot 2491
1878 Shield Nickel. PCGS graded Proof 65. A gem. Hints of delicate sunset toning on both sides. Sometimes the grading of these can seem pretty rocky, what with tarnish streaks or spotting prevalent in the Shield nickel series, but the present example has all of the virtues of its grade. Only 2,350 coins struck for the year, all as Proofs (PCGS # 3832) .
Estimated Value $1,500 - 1,600.
