Description
Unusual, Double Struck 1866 Pattern Nickel in Copper, Judd-517
1866 5C Five Cents, Judd-517, Pollock-544, R.7-8, MS63 Brown NGC. The obverse depicts a bust of George Washington facing right with UNITED STATES OF AMERICA around, and the date, 1866 below. The reverse is the regular issue type without the rays. An interesting muling of dies having UNITED STATES OF AMERICA on both sides. Struck in copper with a plain edge. An interesting strike variety, 90 degrees of die rotation is noticed on the reverse. However, this is not all. Close examination of that side also reveals a noticeable double strike at a 45 degree angle, particularly on the 5. Mostly brown in color, some mixed iridescent red and green colors are seen in the fields as the coin is turned under a light. One tiny toning spot is seen above the ribbon in Washington's hair.(#60714)Coin Index Numbers: (NGC ID# 29LB, PCGS# 60714, GSID# 12948)
