    Description

    This is an 1866 Shield Nickel that appears VF at least in condition.  The date and cross are sharp.  The rims are sharp except small area on reverse side.  1/2-2/3 of shield lines and at least 1/2 of the olive leaf design distinct.  It still has fairly good minty luster.  The pictures with this listing are of the exact coin you will receive.
