Lot Title: 1867 No Rays NGC MS-64, and an 1880 NGC PF-65 CAMEO.
Description: 7070 Collection. The 1867 "no rays" shows some interesting strike doubling toward the topmost obverse, and overall has the "look and feel" of an 1867 shield nickel, illustrating the difficulty the mint had early on in manufacturing quality 5-cent pieces. By 1880, some problems had been addressed, as this proof example features a premier quality planchet and superb striking definition, along with terrific definition. Two coin lot.

1867 No Rays. NGC MS-64.
An effective strike has imparted fine sharpness to both sides, in spite of some noticeable cracking of the obverse die. Both sides display a fragile layer of lead-grey patina that is tenuous enough...
245The Midwest Winter Sale on 02/12/2010$1,550.00
1867 No Rays. PCGS PF-64.
Production quality is superior for an early nickel coin from the mint, with reflectivity in the fields that is above average for a type coin whose hard planchets challenged the technology of the...
1119The Midwest Summer Sale 2006 on 07/21/2006$245.00
1867 No Rays. MS-64.
Rose and apple green reflect from the surfaces of this well-preserved nickel. There are not many marks for the assigned grade, but perhaps would need to be a bit brighter for MS-65 consideration.
