1876 Shield Nickel. Proof-66+ Deep Cameo (PCGS). CAC. Virtually pristine, this awe inspiring Gem is silky smooth in appearance with brilliant silver-white surfaces. Field to device contrast is sharp, the frosty devices also sporting full striking detail. The penultimate Proof Shield nickel issue whose mintage was not recorded by Mint personnel, the 1876 was likely produced in slightly greater numbers than its contemporaries due to increased demand for numismatic keepsakes during the year of the United States' centennial. Indeed, Q. David Bowers (2006) estimates this issue's mintage at 1,500 to 2,000 coins, as opposed to 850 to 1,250 examples for most other Proof nickels from the 1860s and early to mid 1870s. While survivors abound in numismatic circles, most are in lower grades through Proof-65. Additional examples are impaired since a higher percentage of the mintage for this issue initially found its way into the hands of the general public (as opposed to contemporary collectors) due to the year's centennial celebrations. Scarce even in Proof-66, the 1876 is rare any finer. This phenomenal Proof-66+ Deep Cameo is a strike and condition rarity par excellence that belongs in the finest cabinet. PCGS Population: 1; 2 finer in this category (both Proof-67 Deep Cameo). CAC Population: 3; 0. The former total includes coins certified both Proof-66 Deep/Ultra Cameo and Proof-66+ Deep/Ultra Cameo.
