Description
1759 (1985) Martha Washington Five Cent
Judd-2182, Schuler Press Test Piece, MS65
1759 (Circa 1985) Martha Washington Five Cent Test Piece,
Judd-2182, Pollock-Unlisted, R.7, MS65 NGC. 77.52 grains. Very
close to the 5.0 gm (77.15 grain) statutory weight of a Jefferson
nickel. Unlisted in Pollock, who describes only dime, quarter, and
half dollar diameter pieces struck in 1965 from similar Martha
Washington dies. Struck in nickel with a plain edge. The alloy of
the five cent piece has remained unchanged since 1866, with the
exception of the 1942 to 1945 "war nickels." USPatterns.com
speculates that Judd-2182 was produced circa 1985 to test the
Schuler coin press. The initials of Edward Groves are beneath the
bust, and the tree touches the A in WASHINGTON. The surfaces are
satiny and softly struck on Martha's hair, but problem-free
overall.Coin Index Numbers: (NGC ID# DH72, PCGS# 510456, Greysheet# 261880)
