  • Mintage: 5,419 / PCGS pop: 22 / CAC pop: 3 or less

  • Proof Strike Perfection: This final-year Shield Nickel boasts deeply mirrored fields and razor-sharp details, showcasing the intricate design of the shield and stars with breathtaking precision. 

  • Historic Legacy: As the final issue of the Shield Nickel series, this coin marks the transition to the Liberty Head Nickel, making it a significant piece of U.S. coinage history. 

A true gem of American numismatics, the 1883 Shield Nickel in PCGS PR66+ CAC condition is a dazzling relic from the twilight of the Shield Nickel series. With a low mintage of just 5,419 pieces, this coin was struck in the final year of production before the introduction of the Liberty Head Nickel, marking the end of an era in U.S. coinage history.

Graded PR66+ by PCGS, this specimen ranks among the finest known survivors, with only 22 examples recorded at this grade. Even more exclusive, fewer than three (CAC pop. 3 or less) have earned the prestigious CAC seal of approval, certifying its superior quality, originality, and eye appeal. This coin boasts razor-sharp details, deeply mirrored fields, and crisp devices, all hallmarks of a truly exceptional proof strike.

The Shield Nickel’s intricate design—featuring a bold, heraldic shield on the obverse and a large numeral “5” encircled by stars on the reverse—takes on an entirely new level of brilliance in this proof format. Under the light, the coin radiates with stunning clarity, emphasizing every delicate line and texture with remarkable precision.

For collectors seeking a truly elite piece, this 1883 Shield Nickel in PR66+ CAC represents a fusion of rarity, historical significance, and top-tier preservation. With a PCGS pop of just 22 and an ultra-rare CAC pop of 3 or less, this is a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity to own a piece of numismatic excellence.
