Obverse Description: A shield flanked on the left and right by leaves topped with a cross with arrows positioned behind at the bottom so the arrow heads and shanks protrude at the sides. The motto IN GOD WE TRUST appears at the top periphery with the date positioned at the bottom center.
Reverse Description: A large numeral 5 surrounded by 13 stars centered in the design with UNITED STATES OF AMERICA * CENTS around the periphery.
General Notes: The 1868 Shield Nickel has a very low mintage at 600 coins. Most were saved, making this issue scarce but certainly accessible. Scarce in all grades and becoming rare as a high-end gem. Hard to locate with cameo surfaces; and a true rarity with deep cameo surfaces, as only a handful exist.
