Lot 2639
1869 Shield Nickel. PCGS graded MS-66. Light even toning. Well struck. Satiny with impeccably smooth fields and well struck features that are only lacking on the highpoints of the lower right portion of the shield frame above the date. Delicate die cracks noted (as often with the early Shield Nickels). The 1869 is relatively common at any level of Mint State below this level, though it is especially elusive in Gem and better condition. Low population in MS66: Pop 11; none finer at PCGS (PCGS # 3796) .
Estimated Value $3,200 - 3,400.
