1870 Shield Nickel (5c)

Mostly white nickel with a soft gold sheen covers both sides of this 1870, a plus-graded gem backed by a green CAC sticker. Satiny luster flows evenly through fields crossed by fine, mint-made die polish lines, and the strike brings up sharp leaves and well-defined shield lines. Clean, lively, and loaded with eye appeal, housed in a PCGS gold shield holder.
