<B>1866 5C Shield Five Cents, Judd-489, Pollock-577, Low R.6--Corroded, Cleaned--ANACS. PR60 Details.</B></I> The obverse has a shield design similar to that adopted for the regular issue Shield nickel, except that the motto IN GOD WE TRUST is expressed in smaller letters and the date is divided by a ball at the base of the shield. On the reverse, the numeral 5 is surrounded by a laurel wreath, with the legend UNITED STATES OF AMERICA around the rim. Struck in nickel with a plain edge. Well struck and blemish-free with pleasing olive coloration that is somewhat modified by faint reddish-salmon iridescence on the reverse. Light corrosion is noted near 8 o'clock on the obverse, but there is little obvious evidence of the improper cleaning mentioned by ANACS.<BR><BR><b>Shipping:</b> Coin/Currency (<a target="_blank" href="http://www.heritageauctions.com/common/shipping.php">view shipping information</a>)
