Owner Comments:

Ex: Louis Eliasberg, Sr.

We couldn't decide between this low mintage proof and the equally attractive 1873 circulation strike in our collection. So we decided to keep both. That's the beauty of NGC Custom Sets. One can make his own rules as he builds his collection. One can't make any more 1871 Proof Nickels, however, and the 960 coin low mintage of this issue makes it a keeper. This coin is housed in an older PCGS green holder.
