1882 Liberty Nickel Precursor in Nickel
Judd-1690, PR66 Cameo

1882 5C Liberty Head Five Cents, Judd-1690, Pollock-1892, R.5, PR66 Cameo PCGS. CAC. A Liberty nickel pattern that closely approximates the issued 1883 No Cents variety, although there are slight differences in the positioning of the devices relative to the stars and peripheral legends. USPatterns.com calls it "a popular precursor to the Liberty nickel." Struck in nickel with a plain edge. As we pointed out in the Queller catalog: "The transitional patterns such as the Judd-1690 1882 Liberty Head nickel and the Judd-232 1859 half dime are doubly popular, as they are collected both by pattern collectors and by collectors of the regular-series issues and varieties who desire "something special" but might not otherwise dream of collecting patterns in general. With several dozen examples available in the numismatic marketplace, this pattern also has wider availability than most other issues." Pale rose and lavender patina is draped over starkly contrasted cameo features.
From The A. James Evans Collection, Part II.
