1882 Liberty Nickel in Aluminum
Judd-1689, PR65
Sole Finest at PCGS

1882 5C Liberty Nickel, Judd-1689, Pollock-1891, High R.7, PR65 PCGS. Ex: Simpson. Similar to the adopted design of the 1883 No Cents nickel, with the addition of the motto IN GOD WE TRUST at the upper obverse border. The obverse stars are arranged seven left and six right. Struck in aluminum with a plain edge. USPatterns.com confirms only six different examples, with just the Col. Green - Eric P. Newman specimen certified finer as PR66 NGC. The present lot is single finest at PCGS (11/20). The radiant devices show moderate contrast with the glassy fields, though no Cameo designation is present. The well struck and untoned surfaces show unimportant mint-made imperfections, such as field lint marks near the forehead and the O in OF, and a brief, narrow strike-through near the bust tip.
