This attractive Proof features a hint of champagne-gold throughout the otherwise brilliant and reflective fields and frosty devices. The rush was on at the Mint this year for Proof Shield nickels – the Guide Book suggests a mintage of “1,000+” pieces. Several broken letter punches were used on the reverse die. A truly gorgeous Condition Census coin in every respect -- all Proof Shield nickels should look so fine!
NGC Census: 15; 3 finer within the Proof Cameo designation (all Proof-67 Cameo).
