Description
1866 Washington Nickel in Copper
Judd-462, PR63 Red and Brown
Challenging Off-Metal Pattern
1866 5C Washington Five Cents, Judd-462, Pollock-536, Baker-45B,
GW-772, Low R.7, PR63 Red and Brown NGC. A five cent pattern
featuring George Washington in profile, facing right, on the
obverse. The date has minute digits. The reverse has the 5 of the
denomination central on that side, surrounded by a laurel wreath.
Struck in copper with a plain edge. Saul Teichman knows of nine
specimens of this rare pattern. The fully struck surfaces are
lavender-brown with generous remnants of the initial peach-gold
color. Both sides are unmarked but exhibit scattered tiny aqua
flecks, most evident on the reverse border near 9:30. In its Bowers
and Merena auction appearance, the present piece tipped the scales
at 71.9 grains, notably heavier than the customary 58 to 59 grains
for Judd-462.Ex: 306th Sale (Kagin's, 4/1975), lot 5; Fall Sale (Paramount, 10/1986), lot 386; Somerset Collection (Bowers & Merena, 5/1992), lot 1701.
