Product Details: This rare 1868 Shield Nickel, graded PF 62 by NGC, represents a stunning intersection of Civil War-era history and numismatic artistry. As one of only approximately 600 proof specimens struck this year, this coin was minted during a pivotal era of reconstruction under the design leadership of James B. Longacre. The PF 62 designation ensures a 'Proof' strike with a brilliant, reflective finish that distinguishes it from common circulation issues, showcasing the bold 'Union Shield' obverse in exceptional detail. This piece serves as a cornerstone for any serious collector, embodying the transition from silver half dimes to the copper-nickel alloy that defines the modern American nickel.
