Gem+ Mint State 1866 Shield 5¢ 1866 Nickel Rays. MS-65+ PCGS. CAC. This satiny champagne-gold specimen has a lot to offer. The strike is sharp on both sides, and the luster enjoys a frosty nature. Repunching noted at date, 1 at top, 8 has “horns” at top. No fewer than seven die cracks, some spidery, some not, run inward from the rim at various stations around the clock – it appears as if there is a terminal die state just over the horizon for this die. However, the reverse die shows no apparent signs of stress. As for overall quality and appeal, the grade is spot-on to our eyes. There are no blemishes available to the unaided eye, and you won’t find much on the table if you go hunting with a loupe. The “+” and CAC “green bean” sticker are well earned here!
PCGS #3790
