1873 Shield Nickel. Close 3. Proof-67 Cameo (PCGS). Minimally toned in pale iridescent hues, this is a gorgeous example of both the type and issue. The fields are highly reflective and contrast boldly with satiny, smartly impressed devices. A fully struck, expertly preserved survivor from an unknown mintage that Q. David Bowers (2006) estimates at 1,500 to 2,000 Proofs. An ideal candidate for inclusion in an advanced Proof type or date set, and worthy of the strongest bids.<p> PCGS# 83827. NGC ID: 276P. PCGS Population: 5; 1 finer in this category (single MS-67+ finest).
