Shield Nickels are a type of five-cent coin minted in the United States from 1866 to 1883. The 1867 Shield Nickel features a unique design with a shield motif and a prominent "5" within the shield. These coins were created to replace the two-cent piece and are known for their distinctive reverse design, which showcases a flowing ribbon and the words "E Pluribus Unum." The 1867 version is particularly sought after by collectors due to its historical significance and lower mintage in certain variations.
