Description

1868 Nickel Composition Five Cent Piece
Judd-624, PR65

1868 5C Five Cents, Judd-624, Pollock-693, Low R.6, PR65 PCGS. Struck on a broad, slightly oversized five cent planchet. The obverse is a larger variant of the three cent nickel design, while the reverse has 5 CENTS in the center surrounded by a laurel wreath. Struck in nickel with a plain edge. Approximately 2-3 dozen pieces are believed extant of this popular nickel pattern. As with the Judd-623 above, this piece also shows slight granularity and central striking softness, common to the hard nickel alloy used to strike these pieces. Fine die striations are seen in the fields on each side with resultant bright mirroring. Pale toning.
From The David Cassel Collection.
