All I Wrote About Nickels

Shield Nickel



It's a No Ray Shield Nickel. There are 2 types of Shield nickels, one has rays surrounding the 5 and the other doesn't. The one with rays were minted in 1866-1867, the no-rays were minted from 1867-1883.

Notice that this nickel is in very bad shape. It is still identifiable but no date can be read and the motto is almost gone. I'll estimate it would barely grade PO-1(poor). If it had a date it would be a AG-3(almost good).

Here's the stats for this coin...
Type: 5 cents
Year: 18??-Unknown
Mintages: Unknown
Metal: 75% Copper 25% Nickel
Value: $1.00-$2.00 in PO-1 or PO-2


Just testing.
