Collectible coins, such as the Shield Nickels, are a part of numismatics and hold historical and monetary significance. The Shield Nickel, minted from 1866 to 1883, features a design inspired by the shield of the United States, representing unity and protection. The 1870 Shield Nickels, specifically, are noteworthy for their rarity and demand among collectors, particularly in higher grades.
