Title: 1867 Shield 5¢. Rays. MS-65 NGC
Header: Gem Mint State 1867 Rays Five-Cents
Description: This satiny Gem has it all, including a crisp strike, full cartwheel activity, and pale champagne-gold highlights – there’s even a cud at the bottom of the obverse rim that engages the date! The very tips of two of the reverse ray bundles show some lightness of strike, but that’s about it for shortcomings in this remarkable Shield nickel. We note a logjam of certification events at NGC for this date; perhaps some small proportion of those represent resubmissions. Far scarcer across the board than its counterpart without reverse Rays features. This beauty is certain to entice more than one bidder with its eye-catching quality and well-rounded appeal.
