1879 Shield Nickel. 9 over 8. PCGS graded Proof 67. A high degree of mint freshness graces the satiny silver gray surfaces; this is the only overdate shield nickel found as a Proof. The other overdate (1883/2) is only seen from regular-production dies. In closing, a wonderfully well struck gem without spots. Pop 21; 6 in 68; 1 in 69. (PCGS # 3834) .
Estimated Value $2,400 - 2,600.
