Comment:
This design is considered a prototype of the 1867 No Rays proof nickel, similar aside from the star layout but dated 1866. Struck in nickel with a plain edge. This straw-gold and cream-gray Choice proof is fully struck and well preserved, although the fields are moderately subdued. Was Housed in a green label holder with a CAC endorsement but since was reslab
