Lot 2633
1866 Shield Nickel. PCGS graded MS-65. CAC Approved PQ. Well struck with light even toning. Pop 133; 29 finer in 66. A sharp-looking coin. Business strike Shield nickels appear to be one of the more undervalued areas in the coin market today. They are very scarce in an absolute sense, especially in comparison to their Proof counterparts, and are also very challenging to locate in better-than-Gem grades. This is a brilliant coin that displays generous, thickly frosted surfaces whose only imperfections are Mint-made die clashing and slight softness of strike as seen on the shield and in the stars surrounding the denomination on the reverse (PCGS # 3790) .
Estimated Value $1,800 - 1,900.
