Description

1868 5C Five Cents, Judd-627, Pollock-696, Low R.7, PR64 Brown PCGS. CAC. Ex: Simpson. The obverse resembles the adopted three cent nickel design, while the reverse has a large 5 and small CENTS surrounded by an open wreath. Struck in copper with a plain edge. These wide-planchet patterns were struck in nickel, copper (regular size), copper (wide planchet, as seen here), and aluminum (regular and oversized planchets). Reeded edge variants were also produced. Only a half-dozen of these oversized planchet pieces in copper are believed known. This is a slightly muted reddish-brown example of this unusual and attractive pattern.

Coin Index Numbers: (NGC ID# 29NH, PCGS# 60844, Greysheet# 13172)
