1882 Pattern Shield Nickel. Judd-1694, Pollock-1896. Rarity-7-. Proof-64 RD (PCGS). CAC. The obverse is very similar to that used to strike regular-issue 1882 Shield nickels, albeit without the ornamental ball at the base of the shield. The reverse is the design of the regular issue. Struck in copper with a plain edge. A simply gorgeous near-Gem, both sides are aglow in vibrant, fully original, orange-red color. We are unable to locate a single ill-defined feature, and the surfaces are also equally free of distracting contact marks. Perhaps just one or two wispy flecks away from an even finer grade, this coin is worthy of a solid bid. This is the only Red example certified by PCGS.
