1870 Shield Nickel. MS-67 (NGC).

1870 Shield Nickel. MS-67 (NGC). With virtually pristine satin surfaces, it is little wonder that this lightly toned, powder blue and golden-tinged Superb Gem is one of the two finest certified examples of the issue in the current market. The Philadelphia Mint struck 4,806,000 circulation strike Shield nickels in 1870, a significant reduction from the totals achieved in previous years. Mint State survivors are scarce in an absolute sense, and the vast majority grade no finer than MS-64. Offered here is an exceptionally well preserved and attractive piece that is sure to have no difficulty finding its way into an advanced collection. NGC Census: 2; 0 finer. PCGS has yet to grade an example of this issue finer than MS-66+. PCGS# 3797. NGC ID: 22P4. Click here for certification details from NGC.
