- Chart Topping Superb Gem Cameo Proof 1875 Shield Nickel 1875 Shield Nickel. Proof-67 Cameo (NGC). With a mintage of 700 pieces for the year there are simply not that many to go around today. Especially so in high grades. This glorious sparkling jewel was likely one of the first struck when the dies produced the most contrast. About fifteen percent of the 1875 Shield nickels have been certified with the Cameo contrast by NGC, there are none that have the depth of fields required for their Ultra Cameo designation in their Census.The surfaces are glittering and bright, with satin smooth fields and frosty lettering and devices. A blush of pale nickel blue and gold is the only sign of age. In the measure of quality, NGC has awarded one other example their PR-67 grade but it does not boast the Cameo contrast. This tiny number of two coins that merit the PR-67 level of preservation. PCGS# 83829. NGC Census: 1; none finer in any designation.
