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 1879/8 is the major overdate variety in the Proof Shield Nickel Series. Interestingly enough, a tripled date also exists for this year. Scarce in all grades and becoming rare as a high-end gem. Gradually tougher with cameo surfaces as well as deep cameo which are very rare. Not much of an increase in value from the regular 1879.
NGC ID: 22PG
