Description

This proof nickel pattern from the later portion of the 1867 series features a die combination that earned its own Judd catalog designation. The sheer number of 1867 Shield nickel pattern varieties—spanning J-561 through J-585—makes this one of the most extensively documented design studies in American numismatic history. Each variety preserves a moment in the decision-making process that shaped one of the nineteenth century's most commercially important coin denominations.

Rarity Notes

R.7 to R.8. Very rare, approximately 4-7 specimens known.
