Description

1875 5C Five Cents, Judd-1387, Pollock-1531, R.8, PR66 Red and Brown PCGS. CAC. Ex: Simpson. The regular Shield nickel design, struck in copper with a plain edge. Only three or four examples of this pattern are known. It was also struck in aluminum and is even rarer in that metal. As with most off-metal pieces, these were struck not as actual dies trial strikes, but rather for sale by the Mint to favored collectors as part of off-metal sets. This piece is tied for finest in the Red and Brown category with the Newman piece (certified by NGC). There is just a bit of mellowing on either side of this Premium Gem with much of the original red still remaining.

Coin Index Numbers: (NGC ID# 2AAU, PCGS# 71694, Greysheet# 14545)
