<B>1877 5C PR67 Cameo PCGS.</B></I> As the more elusive of two proof-only issues in the Shield nickel series, the 1877 is one of the most important dates for this early five cent design. Mintage figures are speculative, but the <I>Guide Book</B></I> puts the issue's total production at slightly over 510 pieces, which would make it the second-lowest mintage among Shield nickel proofs, behind only the famed 1867 With Rays specimens.<BR> This beautifully preserved and immensely attractive Superb Gem offers moderate reflectivity and mild, yet distinct contrast. This piece's most prominent and desirable attribute is its patina, periwinkle, mint-green, and lemon-gold with occasional flashes of magenta at the margins. While tied for the finest known among Cameo pieces certified by NGC and PCGS (11/07), the outstanding toning on this piece most likely makes it the most visually appealing 1877 Shield nickel known.<BR><BR><b>Shipping:</b> Coins & Currency (<a target="_blank" href="http://www.heritageauctions.com/common/shipping.php">view shipping information</a>)
