Notes:
Because this date was struck only in Proof condition and because the mintage
was so low, the 1877 Shield Nickel has always been regarded as one of the
keys to the series.
The finest Proof examples graded by PCGS are 2 PR-67's.
The finest Proof Cameo example graded by PCGS is a single PRCA-67.
