1877 5C Shield Nickel PCGS PR66+CAM (CAC)
1877 5C, CA
SKU: 8889921
A true premium gem of the Reconstruction era, this 1877 Shield Nickel Proof offers exceptional rarity, eye appeal, and third‑party assurance that serious collectors demand. Certified PCGS PR66+CAM and approved by CAC, it marries deep mirrored fields with richly frosted devices for bold Cameo contrast—precisely the look advanced proof nickel specialists pursue.
Struck at the Philadelphia Mint, the 1877 proof Shield Nickel had a tiny mintage of just 510 pieces. Survival at this lofty level is exceedingly limited: PCGS reports a population of only 12 in PR66+CAM, with just 13 graded higher. For Registry Set competitors and connoisseurs of 19th‑century proofs, this is a blue‑chip opportunity in one of the series’ most desirable Cameo tiers.
Designed by James B. Longacre, the Shield Nickel (1866–1883) is the nation’s first nickel five‑cent type and a cornerstone of post–Civil War coinage. The 1877 proof issues are particularly admired for their sharp strikes and crisp shield detail—traits that, when paired with pronounced Cameo contrast and CAC endorsement, place this example securely in elite company.
