Description
Gem 1881 Liberty Head Nickel, Judd-1671
1881 5C Liberty Head Five Cents, Judd-1671, Pollock-1872, R.6 PR65 Cameo 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 needle-sharp Gem that has gorgeous surfaces and dusky pearl-gray patina. A wonderful specimen of this important transitional design. The dies are slightly rotated clockwise. Population: 3 in 65, 0 finer (8/03). (#62067)Coin Index Numbers: (NGC ID# 2AJW, PCGS# 62067, GSID# 15015)
