Comment:
This is a wonderful transitional Pattern, that shows the adopted Shield design with the regular reverse die for the 1866 With Rays nickel. These extremely rare novodels were likely struck in the 1870s for sale to collectors.
Blazing RED mirrors beam brilliantly on both sides. The color is a bold and flaming brick hue with just a few micro-flecks noted for the sake of accuracy. The crisply rendered devices are sharp and the eye appeal is exceptional for the assigned grade.
This coin also was listed as NGC 64RD in September 2007 and earlier prior to it being crossover to PCGS and CAC in recent history
