1867 Longacre Five Cent in Aluminum, PR66
Judd-561, Bright and Problem-Free

1867 5C Five Cents, Judd-561, Pollock-622, R.5, PR66 PCGS. CAC. A Longacre design that shows Liberty facing left with four feathers and four stars in the headdress, the date below, UNITED STATES OF AMERICA above, and his name immodestly engraved beneath the portrait. The reverse has a large, ornate shield with a large Roman numeral V over it, the motto above. It is believed that 100 of these were struck, according to J. Colvin Randall. Liberty's profile greatly resembles Longacre's contemporary Indian cent, gold dollar, and three dollar designs. The stars are boldly recut. Struck in aluminum with a plain edge. The surfaces are bright and show no signs of oxidation. Noticeable horizontal die striations are seen on each side, which created the depth of mirroring in the fields.
From The A. James Evans Collection, Part II.
