Lot 554
1877 Shield Nickel. PCGS graded Proof 66 Cameo PQ. Proof only year. 510 proofs struck. Untoned and without black spots. The surfaces are highly lustrous and each side has pitching mirrors that swirl and alternate between lighter and darker hues. Where a collector might expect to see the usual deviation in the sharp relief, mainly in the leaves on either side of the shield where the design often failed to completely fill the dies, this standout Proof takes the opposite road by being bold! Choice for the grade. Pop 22; 3 in 67 Cameo. (PCGS # 83831) .
Estimated Value $5,000 - 5,500.
