详细说明

1881 Shield Nickel. MS-66 (NGC). CAC. Satiny and fully struck, both sides of this lovely Gem are enhanced by iridescent toning in pale champagne-gold. The 1881 is the final date in a run of low mintage nickel five-cent issues that began in 1877. During the first two years of that era, 1877 and 1878, the Mint actually produced no circulation strike coins of this denomination. In 1879, only 25,900 circulation strikes were produced, followed by just 16,000 coins in 1880 and 68,800 pieces in 1881. The 1881 is understandably elusive in all grades; Mint State survivors are universally rare and exceedingly so with the outstanding quality offered here. Provenance: From the Larry H. Miller Collection. NGC Census: 11; 6 finer (all MS-67). PCGS# 3811. NGC ID: 276F. Click here for certification details from NGC.
