Well that particular certificate dates from AFTER the start of PCI, but before they started grading problem coins with the red labels. (And the...
It also has beeded hair cords which eliminates 1836, and about half of the 1837's. The head style is what is called Head of 38 and that...
They are the same coin but the pictures/lighting are very different. Look on the shield. In the first picture you can see two clear lines or...
Without doing some serious work it is an 1837 or 38.

More likely a Philadelphia business strike die accidentally got shipped out with the S marked dies to be polished and was then used to strike...
HEY! I started out collecting nickels. Did the Jeffersons, then the V nickels , then the shield, the buffalos, the three cent nickels, the seated...
The print run was apparently small, it sold out very quickly, it has not been reprinted, and it seldom comes up for sale. So when it does come up...
