- 1867 Shield Nickel. No Rays. MS-66+ (NGC). CAC. This is an uncommonly well produced coin in a circulation strike Shield nickel, the detail bold to sharp throughout, even over the reverse star centrils. Satiny and smooth, both sides are untoned with a lovely bright silver appearance. Popular for type purposes, this issue is the first in the Shield nickel five-cent series to display the No Rays design. The changeover from the Rays design took place in February of 1867, and the Mint hoped that by simplifying the design it could alleviate some of the striking problems that plagued this type. With 28,890,500 pieces produced, the 1867 No Rays has the highest mintage among circulation strike Shield nickels. While Mint State survivors are plentiful in an absolute sense, they are rare with the premium Gem quality offered here. NGC Census: 3; 1 finer (MS-67). PCGS# 3794. NGC ID: 22NZ.
