A satiny Shield nickel that offers an aesthetically balanced visage to the viewer. The frosty motifs and satiny mirror fields enjoy a wash of pale champagne-gold iridescence, and the overall strike is superb. The jury is still out as to whether this is an actual overdate – NGC has stopped certifying this die variety as such – but all known specimens have a tiny diagonal tine upward from the right side of the ball at the bottom of the shield. Undeniably choice for the grade aesthetically and physically.
