      Entry Details

      PCGS Number: 3818

      Denomination (Short): 5c
      Denomination (Long): 5 Cents
      Variety: Rays
      Desg: PR
      Composition: 75% copper; 25% nickel
      Mintage: 25
      Strike Type: Proof
      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. Coins of 1867 exist with and without lines, or sun rays, extending outward from the numeral 5.
      General Notes: The date that very quickly ends the "Rays" reverse design for the Proof Shield Nickel Series (because of striking and die crack issues). An extreme rarity in all grades. With or without a cameo, the mintage is miniscule at just 60 pieces struck. The 1867 Rays Proof Shield Nickel is a 5-figure coin under all circumstances.
