Lot 2646
1875 Shield Nickel. PCGS graded MS-65. A hint of light gold tone. A lustrous Gem Shield Nickel that has icy nickel-bright color that shoots out beams of vibrancy to the eye of the beholder. That said, now we cover the strike: this coin, unlike many of its date where weakness can be found on some of the shield lines and surrounding foliage, was struck with almost scientific precision on the key design elements. 1875 is also noteworthy as being scarcer than other dates in this outstanding condition, barring 1877 (the Key) and 1878 (a semi-key). Note the PCGS population: Pop 31; 9 finer in 66 (PCGS # 3804) .
Estimated Value $1,300 - 1,400.
