Inventory #210812-30.
Numista-14852, FS-304.
A decent lower grade example of the first-year type with rays on the reverse. This was America's first non-silver 5-cent piece, referred to as a "nickel", though technically "nickels" are 75% copper and only 25% nickel.
My friend Patrick Jenkins says, "Your 1866 Shield nickel is an FS-05-1866-304 (001.3) ... Shields have some great varieties, this definitely worth more being 1st reverse with Rays and the repunched date. $125 +/-".
The FS-304 variety attribution refers to its number in the Fivaz-Stanton Cherrypicker's Guide, and would indicate that this is an 1866/1866 repunched date variety. I am not an examiner of die variety minutiae myself, but that's rather interesting.
