Lot Title:
|
1878 PCGS PF-64 (ogh).
|
|
Description:
|
The PCGS green-label holder identifies this proof shield nickel as grading PF-64, and the coin is well suited to that conservative assessment. Chrome-bright surfaces gleam with distinctive reflectivity, with little contrast to speak of. While the obverse appears to be nicer than the assigned grade, prudent examination of the reverse will reveal several wispy hairline sweeping down from the left. 1878 is considered the fourth key to the severely underappreciated proof Shield Nickel series, with an original mintage of only 2,350 pieces.

1878 NGC PF-64.

7070 Collection. Quality seems more than adequate for PF-64, as neither side actually shows any noticeable hairlines at all. However, some carbon spotting could be what barred a gem grade. Struck... |

1878 PCGS PF-66.
|

Exquisitely sharp details are more finely detailed than usual even for a proof striking, probably indicating a fairly fresh die. Though only the slightest contrast may be seen, fields are... |

1878 PCGS PF-65.

A hands down, no question gem that actually appears slightly finer from the obverse alone. Despite the proof format, cartwheel luster figures prominently into the appearance of both sides, though... |

1878 ANACS Proof Cleaned, Net PF-60.
|
|
A quick glance at this reflective coin gives the impression of a very nice proof, but the ANACS disclaimer of "cleaned" is confirmed by subtle diagonal hairlines on the obverse, and corresponding... |
