This 1882 Proof Shield Nickel has been graded PR66+ by PCGS and is encapsulated in one of the newer-style edge-view holders. This nickel has beautiful toning on both sides around the rims which is very eye appealing. The coin is very flashy as well with strong mirrors and no major distractions. The coin was also professionally imaged by PCGS for their CoinFacts service and the photo wonderfully captures the beauty of this coin in the best light. The photos of the coin show it well, but the included video of the coin does an even better job. The close up CoinFacts photo shows some microscopic spotting on the coin which is almost completely unnoticeable in hand. A very beautiful overall high-grade proof example of the Shield Nickel.
Because of the difficulty in capturing the overall look of the coin in a single image, I have also included a short high-definition video of the coin towards the bottom of this listing in an attempt to give you a better idea of what this coin will look like in hand. Please note that you may need to adjust the video quality to 1080p and may need to increase the size of the video to full screen in order to see the coin in maximum detail.
