Description
1873 Closed 3 Shield Nickel in Copper
Judd-1264, PR66+ Red and Brown
1873 5C Shield Nickel, Judd-1264, Pollock-1406, R.7, PR66+ Red
and Brown PCGS. Ex: Simpson. Both sides feature the regular
dies for the 1873 Closed 3 Shield nickel. Struck in copper with a
plain edge. Rather than dies trials, these patterns were produced
specifically to sell to collectors. Fewer than a half dozen are
thought to exist in copper, and a similar number are believed
extant in aluminum. Abundant mint red color surrounds the raised
devices. The other areas are glossy brown and richly toned in
shades of cobalt-blue, sea-green, violet, and olive-gold. A small
spot of carbon occurs low and left of the W in WE on the obverse,
identifying this particular Bob Simpson representative.Ex: Bob R. Simpson Collection (Heritage, 11/2020), lot 3227; US Coins Signature (Heritage, 6/2021), lot 3249.
