Description
1875 Five Cents in Copper
Judd-1387, PR66 Red and Brown
Tied for Finest Known
1875 5C Shield Nickel, Judd-1387, Pollock-1531, High R.7, 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.Ex: The October Sale (Stack's, 10/1997), lot 942; ANA Signature (Heritage, 8/2021), lot 3190.
