Lot of 2 vintage United States Shield Nickels featuring the following dates:

These classic early U.S. five cent coins were minted during the first era of nickel coinage in American history. Shield Nickels were produced from 1866–1883 and are highly collectible due to their historic design, age, and importance in post-Civil War U.S. coinage.

The obverse features the large shield design symbolizing strength and unity, while the reverse displays the large numeral “5” design used on early Shield Nickels.
