1865 Shield Nickel in Copper
Judd-417, PR66 Brown

1865 5C Shield Nickel, Judd-417, Pollock-489, Low R.7, PR66 Brown PCGS. Ex: Simpson. The obverse is the adopted design of 1866, but dated 1865. The reverse is the "Stars and Bars" design used in 1866 and on some 1867 nickels. Struck in copper with a plain edge. There is some debate as to the status of these patterns as either Originals or Restrikes. Saul Teichman lays out both arguments at USPatterns.com, and we would encourage readers to read through them. Glossy brown surfaces feature an overlay of iridescent patina in shades of blue, green, violet, and gold. Contact marks and planchet flakes are minimal. Population: 1 in 66 Brown, 0 finer (5/21).

Coin Index Numbers: (PCGS# 60599, Greysheet# 12797)
