Description

1881 5C Liberty Head Five Cents, Judd-1671, Pollock-1872, R.6, PR 65 PCGS. An early prototype for the Liberty nickel that was adopted two years later. This version differs in several ways from the regular design. On the obverse UNITED STATES OF AMERICA circles the rim in place of the stars. On the reverse, a large V is surrounded by a wreath with no statutory inscriptions around the periphery. Struck in nickel with a plain edge. A well defined example, the only distracting feature is the coating of opaque-gray and reddish-golden toning that slightly mutes the surfaces.

Coin Index Numbers: (NGC ID# 2AJW, PCGS# 62067, GSID# 15015)
