Owner Comments:


1868 1C
Judd-605, Pollock-670
Rarity: Low R.6, PF63

Struck in nickel with a plain edge.

Obverse: The design closely resembles the contemporary three cent nickel with the head of liberty wearing a cornet.

Reverse: Similar to the 3CN however only a single pillar represents the denomination within a open wreath of wheat, cotton, corn and tobacco.

Comment:
The obverse 2nd 8 in the date encroaches into the curls of Liberty. The date appears to be modified in J-608 with a more centered date away from the curls.

Light gray patina covers both sides with a few tiny flyspecks on the obverse.

Provenance/Appearance:
From Heritage Oct 2016 Dallas Signature Auction / Lot #3974
