Shield Nickle...i see rays! Bonus IHP.

Takes just the right light. Pretty much gone, but certainly an 1866. My second SN. 1873 IHP LITERALLY, same hole.

3rd time looking in exact same spot.

Good stuff!

Nice coins! Being in close proximity could have accelerated their corrosion by interactions between them.
