Five Cent Pattern in Nickel
Judd-461, PR66

1866 5C Five Cents, Judd-461, Pollock-535, R.5, PR66 NGC.
Design. The obverse features a bust of Washington facing right with UNITED STATES OF AMERICA around and the date below. The reverse displays the denomination centered in a laurel wreath, with the motto IN GOD WE TRUST above. Struck in nickel with a plain edge.

Commentary. One of the more available patterns, with perhaps three dozen known survivors. The base of an errant 1 is visible to the left of the date on all examples seen of this issue. An early auction appearance was in the Idler Collection (Haseltine, 4/1870), lot 233. Idler was one of the main outlets for the sale of numismatic delicacies from the Mint.
