      Entry Details

      PCGS Number: 83823
      Coin Date: 1869
      Denomination (Short): 5c
      Denomination (Long): 5 Cents
      Desg: PR
      Composition: 75% copper; 25% nickel
      Mintage: 600
      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.
      General Notes: The 1869 comes from an extremely low mintage of 600 coins. Most were saved making this issue scarce but very accessible. Scarce in all grades. The 1869 5C becomes rare as a high-end gem. Hard to locate with cameo surfaces and nonexistent with a deep cameo. Nice toners can be found with a good bit of searching.
