    1876 Shield Nickel XF Uncertified. Shipped with USPS First Class. Beautiful specimen!!
    Shield Nickels were first produced in the years following the Civil War and only stayed in circulation for a short period of time. Despite their limited time in circulation, these coins have gained a lot of attention from collectors both in the US and abroad. As a pivotal part of US coinage history, it really shouldn’t come as much of a surprise that these coins are highly valued by collectors.
    As part of the latter years of the Shield Nickel’s production, the 1876 edition is of particular importance to collectors. Unfortunately, because these coins were produced more than 100 years ago, very few of them have survived in well-preserved condition. For this reason, it is easy to understand why collectors will pay a pretty penny for pieces that are in excellent condition.
