1882 Shield Nickel (5c)

Soft champagne-gold toning covers this gem shield nickel. Frosty, satiny luster blooms beneath the color on both sides. The strike is excellent - leaves, shield lines, and star centers are crisply defined. The surfaces read as fully original and undisturbed. Superb eye appeal in a PCGS gold shield holder, capped by a well-deserved green bean.
