拍品描述： 1878 Shield Nickel. Proof-67 (NGC).Lovely champagne-gold iridescence drifts over serene surfaces. Semi-mirrored in finish with a needle sharp strike and eye appeal to spare. The Mint produced just 2,350 nickel five-cent pieces in 1878, all of which are Proofs. With such a limited mintage this is one of the rarest and most eagerly sought dates in the Shield series of 1866 to 1883. The present Superb Gem is finer than most and will please even the most discerning bidder.
