Owner Comments:


1871 5C
Judd-1050, Pollock-1184
Rarity: Low R.6, PF64 CAC Endorsement

Struck in nickel with plain edge

Obverse: The obverse bears a portrait of Liberty similar to that used on the nickel three cent piece.

Reverse: The reverse depicts a reversed Roman numeral V (which is backwards) above the word CENTS (which is curved) within the wreath.

Comment:
The fields on this example are brightly mirrored and there is slight contrast evident against the lightly frosted devices. Almost brilliant, showing just a hint of golden color on each side. There are few contact marks or other post-striking impairments on this lovely near-Gem
