1869 Shield Nickel 5C G Good No Rays 19th Century Type Coin Antique US NickelOffered here is an 1869 Shield Nickel from the Philadelphia Mint. Shield nickels were the first US five-cent pieces struck in copper-nickel, introduced in 1866 just after the Civil War, when silver coins had vanished from circulation. 16,395,000 were struck in 1869. This coin shows heavy, honest circulation wear typical of the grade. The shield outline, vertical stripes and cross are clear, and the large 5 and stars on the reverse are well defined. This is the No Rays reverse, used from 1867 onward after the rays between the stars were removed. Natural olive-gray toning with deeper color in the protected areas; the date is weak, as is common on worn Shield nickels. Designed by James B. Longacre, the Shield nickel (1866-1883) is an affordable way to own a genuine 19th-century American type coin.

| SHIPPING Every coin we sell ships in protective packaging — no exceptions. The exact container depends on the shipping class: for example, our Standard Envelope option is limited to a maximum of 1/4" thickness, so a bubble mailer isn’t used there. Instead, coins travel in a vinyl flip, a thick baggie, or a cardboard flip, whichever best protects that particular coin. We ship daily, Monday through Friday, excluding all USPS holidays. |
