- 1866 Shield Nickel. Rays. Proof-67 (NGC). This Superb Gem Proof has a thin coating of pale golden-gray color on each side. The fields are exquisitely preserved and fully mirrored, with very modest cameo contrast. Undoubtedly minted with special care, as Proofs are, all of the design elements are fully defined. Although a few patterns from the regular issue design were struck in 1865, the 1866 With Rays nickel represents the first year of issue, with examples available as both Mint State and Proof. Two reverse dies have been identified for the Proof 1866 Rays nickels. The first Proof reverse was used to strike this example. This reverse, used only in 1866, has a prominent center dot, and the upper left vertical of the large 5 sharply doubled. Certainly a worthwhile opportunity for the specialist that collects nickels. NGC Census: 3; none finer within the designation. NGC lists 18 Cameo and Ultra Cameo examples in similar and finer grades - some are likely resubmissions. PCGS# 3817. NGC ID: 276G.
