The highest mintage in the Shield Nickel Series since the 1860’s, with over 11 million coins produced, making it the ideal later date type coin. Extremely common and accessible in every grade up to gem level where only high grade gems have any scarcity at all. This issue comes with some die cracks but also incredible luster.
Obverse Description
A shield flanked on the left and right by leaves topped with a cross with arrows positioned behind at the bottom so the arrow heads and shanks protrude at the sides. The motto IN GOD WE TRUST appears at the top periphery with the date positioned at the bottom center.
Reverse Description
A large numeral 5 surrounded by 13 stars centered in the design with UNITED STATES OF AMERICA * CENTS around the periphery.
