1867 Shield Nickel. Rays. MS-64 (PCGS). CAC.This brilliant and satiny near-Gem sports an uncommonly sharp, well balanced strike for this challenging type. The second of only two Shield nickel issues of the Rays design, the 1867 is far scarcer than the 1866 in all grades. This is understandable given the differences in mintages for the two issues (14,742,500 vs. 2,019,000 circulation strikes). Both dates are equally challenging to locate with the strong strike and fulsome luster offered here. Worthy of the strongest bids.PCGS# 3791. NGC ID: 22NY.From the Collection of James Allaire Millholland, 1842-1911.
