About this product

Product Information

<h2>Ron Guth</h2><p>The Mint produced over 28 million Nickels in 1868, making this the second most common date in the entire series.&nbsp; At the same time, the Mint made Half Dimes, but only to the tune of 88,600, a seemingly insignificant mintage in relation to the Nickel (a good question is why they were even made at all).</p><p>Mint State 1868 Nickels are readily available in grades up through MS65.&nbsp; There are enough MS66 examples to fill the PCGS Condition Census with coins of that grade, but PCGS has not assigned a higher grade to any 1868 Nickel.</p><p>This date is usually struck well, though cracks continue to plague many examples (to see a variety of interesting die cracks, check out the <a href="http://www.pcgscoinfacts.com/CoinImages.aspx?s=3795">View All Coin Images</a> link above, then click on the individual pictures to get a dramatic close-up look.</p>
