1867 Shield Nickel With Rays (VG)

The 1867 Shield Nickel With Rays in VG (Very Good) condition shows moderate to heavy wear, with the main shield design and date still visible, though finer details are mostly worn. The “With Rays” variety, featuring rays between the stars on the reverse, was only minted briefly, making it scarcer and more sought-after than the No Rays version. Even in VG condition, it retains solid collector interest due to its historical significance and relative rarity.
