Description
1867 Washington Five Cent Mule in Nickel
Unique Judd-584A, PR63+
Ex: Crosby-Garrett
1867 5C Five Cents, Judd-584A, Pollock-644, Baker R-46A, Musante
GW-788, Unique, PR63+ PCGS. Ex: Simpson. The obverse is modeled
after the regular-issue three cent nickel and features a bust of
Liberty facing left, wearing a coronet, surrounded by the legend
and date 1867. On the reverse, a bust of George Washington faces
right with UNITED STATES OF AMERICA above and the date 1866 below
the bust. Struck in nickel with a plain edge.This fantasy muling is believed to have been struck outside the Mint by dies produced within it. Most likely those dies were purchased as scrap metal, possibly by someone like well-connected Philadelphia dealer John W. Haseltine. Collectors Joseph Mickley and Sylvester Crosby have also been suggested as originators of this and other fantasy pieces from the Washington dies. The present example of Judd-584A, struck in nickel, is believed to be unique. A single example of Judd-585B is also thought to exist in silver.
A hint of dusky gold color adorns largely brilliant nickel-gray surfaces. Minor hairlines appear on each side, but they are minor. The takeaway is the unique nature and fantastic pedigree of this made-to-order five cent rarity.
