N/A - Coins

Shield Nickels were introduced in 1866 as the first five-cent coin in the United States to be made of nickel and copper. The design features a shield on the obverse, symbolizing strength and protection, and the reverse displays a five-cent denomination within an ornate wreath. These coins were minted from 1866 to 1883 and are notable for their unique characteristics, including an absence of the traditional Liberty design found on earlier half dimes. The Shield Nickel series is popular among collectors, with specific dates and mint marks fetching higher premiums due to rarity.
