Owner Comments:

Judd-1054, Pollock-1189
Rarity: High R.6, PF 65BN CAC.Endorsement

Struck in copper with a plain edge.

Longacre's three cent nickel Liberty motif is adapted here for the five cent piece, although the arrangement of the denomination and wreath is more reminiscent of the two cent piece.


Comments:
Examples of this design were struck in both copper and nickel. Toned predominantly forest-green but lilac-red lingers in design crevices. Well struck and devoid of contact. Previously encapsulated in an old green label holder CAC sticker and since reholder but without the CAC attached.

Provenance/Appearances:
From Heritage April 2014 CSNS - Chicago / Lot #6104
