Lot 704
1871. PCGS graded MS-66. A nice untoned example. A satiny gem of the most advantageous order for a Shield Nickel collector. Its high degree of broad-spinning original luster pulses beneath untoned and shimmering nickel-fresh highlights. Well struck, too, with no sign whatsoever of weakness on the shield or leaves (a common problem with the hard nickel alloy in these). That puts this in the forefront of surviving 1871-dated examples. No reason to chase across miles of difficult terrain in search of one of these, it is here and it beckons. Pop 11; 1 finer in 66+. (PCGS # 3798) .
Estimated Value $3,500 - 3,700.
