Lot 2650
1879 Shield Nickel. NGC graded Proof 65 PQ CAC Approved. Light even toning. Only 3,200 minted. Aesthetically tempting, as fine a looking Proof 65 coin with full strike as you are apt to see, and all the while bristling with bright mint bloom, nothing in the way of problems. Next a word about the strike. The pressure transmitted from the Proof die to the blank reveals itself in sharp shield lines, leaves, stars on the reverse, and all legends.
Estimated Value $550 - 600.
