$5,175 MS65 03-14-2006 American Numismatic Rarities
Description
The business strike version of J-573 provides a production-realistic assessment of this particular die combination. Struck at standard speed and pressure on a regular planchet, this piece shows how the design elements would appear on coins destined for commerce rather than collections. Business strike patterns from the 1867 Shield nickel series are consistently rarer than their proof counterparts, as the Mint primarily used proof striking for official evaluation. However, business strike examples provide arguably more valuable data about die performance since they replicate actual production conditions.
