Lot 1559
1879 Shield Nickel. PCGS graded Proof 65. This is the rare triple date as noted in Breen's Encyclopedia (#2512) with repunching plainly visible on the 1 and the 8 of the date. Bright and original, with nickel gray toning on both sides. One tiny planchet flake is noted near the rim above the S of TRUST. One for the repunched date specialist, as this early die state is seldom found and most of the repunching would quickly have worn off the obverse die.
Estimated Value $500 - 600.
