1883 Liberty Nickel in Nickel
Judd-1708, PR67 Cameo

1883 5C Liberty Nickel, Judd-1708, Pollock-1912, High R.7, PR67 Cameo PCGS. CAC. Ex: Simpson. The Liberty head and wreath resemble the issued Liberty nickel, but the obverse border exhibits UNITED STATES OF AMERICA instead of stars. The legend 75 N. 25 C. occupies the wreath interior, and the reverse periphery has seven stars left, six stars right, with FIVE above and CENTS below. E PLURIBUS UNUM is absent. Struck in 75% nickel and 25% copper, the issued nickel alloy, with a plain edge. A very rare pattern variety. USPatterns.com states "about a half dozen are known." As of (11/20), PCGS has certified just two pieces, the present lot and a PR65 without a Cameo designation. This splendid Superb Gem has demonstrates exceptional white-on-black contrast. Well struck and prominently mirrored with only two mint-made imperfections, a lint mark on the field behind Liberty's neck and a tiny strike-through southwest of the C in 25 C.
