This modification created the famous \"No Rays\" type, establishing the primary design that would carry the series through 1883. Finding problem-free examples in near-Uncirculated to Mint State condition with crisp detail and remaining mint luster is exceptionally tough. This specimen exhibits incredible detail across the obverse shield lines and reverse stars, making it a stellar centerpiece for any Shield Nickel collection or 19th-century U.S. type set.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"ClassyCoins","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":52772658905400,"sku":"236992680171","price":149.89,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0702\/1743\/3400\/files\/57_d3cebe3b-d124-4bf6-8631-e5322d12b9eb.jpg?v=1786145733","url":"https:\/\/classycoins.com\/products\/1867-shield-nickel-no-rays-key-transitional-type-mid-year-redesign-517","provider":"classycoins.com","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
