1867 Shield Nickel With Rays (G)

The 1867 Shield Nickel With Rays in G (Good) condition is well-worn, with major elements like the shield and date visible but most finer details smoothed out. This short-lived variety, featuring decorative rays between the reverse stars, is more scarce than later "No Rays" issues, adding to its collectible value even in lower grades. Its combination of early U.S. mint history and relative rarity makes it a desirable coin for budget-conscious collectors.
