<p>[QUOTE="Paddy54, post: 2154977, member: 19250"]Your 1866 shield nickel does have a nice color to it. I do collect these but don't have any toned as such. As to your statement on its strike. Remember these where the first true nickels. Struck in a hard alloy. The platchet was thicker and a tad bit smaller in diameter . The top of the shield a high point if the horizontal lines were not worn I do believe it would of went into the MS numbers. I love these old ANACS holders. In fact I look for them at shows.</p><p>Nice bunch of coins. Thanks for posting them.</p><p>This is a repunched date also one of the most common of the 1866 varieties .[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
