Not Sold Description
1867 Five Cent Mule, PR61
Judd-582, R.8
1867 5C Five Cents, Judd-582, Pollock-642, R.8, PR61 PCGS. A
muling of the design that was adopted for the three cent nickel,
but here adapted to the size of a nickel. Paired with the regular
No Rays reverse. Struck in nickel with a plain edge. These pieces
are believed to have been struck outside the Mint from dies sold as
scrap, perhaps by Joseph Mickley. The reverse on this piece shows
pronounced double striking. Presumably, the hammer (reverse) die
rotated approximately ten degrees between strikes while the anvil
(obverse) die was stationary. A pearl-gray specimen that displays
delicate hairlines and a couple of small gray spots. Only one other
example of Judd-582 is certified, as PR50 by PCGS.Ex: Crosby Collection (John Haseltine, 6/1883), lot 1803, where it brought 75 cents; Lenox Lohr (Empire Fixed Price List); Tramonta Collection (Bowers and Merena, 10/2005), lot 7345, which realized $8,050.
