      Entry Details

      PCGS Number: 3804
      Coin Date: 1875
      Denomination (Short): 5c
      Denomination (Long): 5 Cents
      Desg: MS
      Composition: 75% copper; 25% nickel
      Mintage: 2,097,000
      Strike Type: Business
      Coinage Type: Shield nickel
      Coinage Years: 1867-1883
      Mint Location: Philadelphia
      Diameter: 20.5
      Weight (Grams): 5
      Designer: James B. Longacre
      Edge: Plain
      Obverse Description: A shield flanked on the left and right by leaves topped with a cross with arrows positioned behind at the bottom so the arrow heads and shanks protrude at the sides. The motto IN GOD WE TRUST appears at the top periphery with the date positioned at the bottom center.
      Reverse Description: A large numeral 5 surrounded by 13 stars centered in the design with UNITED STATES OF AMERICA * CENTS around the periphery.
      General Notes: The 1875 Shield Nickel is a fantastic type coin as it is very common in most grades yet has a far lower mintage (just over 2 million) than earlier type coin issues. Affordable and accessible up to the finest grades as this relatively low mintage does not command a premium until high gem grades, like MS66 and MS67. Die cracks are frequently seen on this date.
