Item Description
1867 Shield Nickel – G4 Condition – Historic U.S. Coin
This 1867 Shield Nickel is a significant piece of American numismatic history. Struck during the post-Civil War era, the Shield Nickel was the first five-cent piece to be made of nickel, marking an important shift in U.S. coinage. This coin, minted in 1867, offers a glimpse into the early days of U.S. coin production in the late 19th century.
Key Features:
-
Date: 1867

Mint Mark: No mint mark (indicating it was struck at the Philadelphia Mint)

In this condition, the coin shows considerable wear, with much of the detail worn smooth, but the key features such as the shield and the numeral “5” are still recognizable.
