Lot 203
1872. PCGS graded Proof 67. Fully white gem. A more than moderately bright and lively gem with strong luster and a confident, no-compromises strike. Everything you would want from the grade, and probably then some. The shield nickel series was a workhorse coin where most production coins reached circulation. The Proofs survive in substantial numbers, of course, but then spotting or tarnish took its fair claim to many, leaving only a scant few at the Kilimanjaro heights this coin has achieved! Notice the low census. Only 950 minted. Pop 2; none finer at PCGS (PCGS # 3826) .
Estimated Value $4,200 - 4,500.
