 1866 5¢. J.507 (R-5). Nickel. PE. Very Choice Brilliant Proof. This Pattern issue combines the regular Shield dies as adopted in 1867 without Rays on the reverse. Especially bright and frosty on the devices, and the present coin would be a Cameo by current standards. A trace of carbon on the lower left obverse, and scattered specks also on the reverse. Strong visual appeal for this elusive issue, and truly impressive. PCGS PR64.
