The Shield nickel, introduced in 1866, was the first base-metal five-cent piece in U.S. history; up to then, the half dime—a small silver coin—had filled the nation’s need for that denomination.

And its newness did not protect it from replacement: At that time, there was not yet a federal law establishing a minimum life expectancy for U.S. coin designs.

Snowden admired Barber’s new design, and he also welcomed the change because it gave him a chance to increase the diameter (and thus reduce the thickness) of the nickel. He believed that this would lengthen die life dramatically
