The first issue that begins a reverse design for the Shield Nickel Series without rays as to lessen the amount of severe die cracks. Common through Mint State although gems become a bit scarcer up to MS66, which is considered to be quite scarce.
Obverse Description
A shield flanked on the left and right by leaves topped with a cross with arrows positioned behind at the bottom so the arrow heads and shanks protrude at the sides. The motto IN GOD WE TRUST appears at the top periphery with the date positioned at the bottom center.
Reverse Description
A large numeral 5 surrounded by 13 stars centered in the design with UNITED STATES OF AMERICA * CENTS around the periphery. Coins of 1867 exist with and without lines, or sun rays, extending outward from the numeral 5.
