***Auction Highlight*** NGC 1883 Near TOP POP! Shield Nickel 5c Graded ms67 By NGC. Up for Auction is a coin that is currently a half point from the finest known, and it is in an “old Fatty” holder from NGC. This was graded during NGC inaugural year and an upgrade to current grading standards is very likely. I think you might be looking at the single finest known escape. Seeing this coin in a current ms68 holder is a distinct possibility. Currently there are zero graded ms68 and only a handful at ms67+ With the grade on the holder it is in the top 10 finest known. The 1883 Shield nickel marks the end of the series, as this is a transitional year with Charles Barber's Liberty Head design. The 1883 Shield nickel is often included in three-coin type sets of nickels from this year, which represent the Shield design, the No Cents Liberty Head design, and the With Cents Liberty Head issue. Superb Gem examples are scarce. Traces of iridescent toning grace the satiny nickel-gray surfaces, complementing the sharp devices. Neither side exhibits a single notable abrasion. A Corey's Pick, Bid to Win, Don't let it get Away, you might not find its equal Coin. I give this coin my highest recommendation
