coins \ Coin \ United States of America \ 5¢ (Five Cents, Nickel, Half Dime) \ Shield Nickels \ 1871
Collectible coins, particularly in the United States, encompass a wide range of denominations and designs. The 5-cent nickel, commonly known as the Shield Nickel, was introduced in 1866 and features a design with a shield on the obverse and a wreath on the reverse. The Shield Nickel includes a series minted from 1866 to 1883, with the 1871 issue being one of the many dates produced during this time. Their significance in numismatics comes from both their historical context and the variety of features, such as mint marks and design changes, that appeal to collectors.
