Pricing & History
1870 5C PR67 Cameo NGC. Almost all proof 1870 Shield nickels show planchet problems. This piece has slight granularity that is faintly visible with magnification, but almost all trace has been polished away leaving deeply mirrored fields on each side. The devices are nicely frosted, presenting a noticeable Cameo effect on both obverse and reverse. Both sides are bright, nearly brilliant with just the faintest streaks of golden, again requiring a magnifier. Census: 2 in 67 Cameo, 0 finer (3/11). From The Slotkin Family Trust Collection. Grade: 67, Service: NGC, Service No.: 83824, Issue Date: 1870, Denomination: 5C
