Exquisite DCAM Proof Judd-1693 Pattern Shield Nickel 1882 Pattern Shield Nickel. Judd-1693, Pollock-1895. Rarity-7-. Nickel. Plain Edge. Proof-67 Deep Cameo (PCGS). Obv: Similar to the design of the regular issue 1882 nickel, but modified to omit the ornamental ball at the base of the shield. Rev: The same design that the Mint used to strike regular issue 1882 Shield nickels. Lightly toned in golden iridescence, this fully impressed, nicely cameoed example makes a lovely impression in all regards. This is an elusive pattern in all metallic compositions, nickel specimens, as here, with an extant population of only a dozen or so coins. This unimprovable Superb Gem will appeal to pattern specialists as well as advanced Shield nickel enthusiasts. Provenance: Ex Dr. J. Hewitt Judd; Abe Kosoff's C.S.N.A.
