Description
1870 Shield Nickel in Copper
Judd-805, PR67 Brown
1870 5C Shield Nickel, Judd-805, Pollock-893, High R.7, PR67
Brown PCGS. Ex: Simpson. Each side features the regular 1870
Shield nickel design. Struck in copper with a plain edge. Mint
officials would have produced these off-metal products as
numismatic delicacies for sale to collectors rather than as dies
trials. According to USPatterns.com, fewer than a half dozen
examples of Judd-805 are known. Other small quantities exist in
aluminum (Judd-806), nickel (Judd-807, though these may be
off-metal errors), and possibly steel (Judd-808). A melange of
pastel hues covers the obverse in shades of gold, orange, yellow,
rose, violet, and blue, while the reverse is mostly bluish-green
with rose and gold accents. The legends on that side show extensive
evidence of die polishing.Ex: Bob R. Simpson Collection (Heritage, 2/2021), lot 3221.
