Owner Comments:
1882 5C
Judd-1679, Pollock-1881
Rarity: Low R.7, PR65
Struck in aluminum with a plain edge.
Obverse: The devices are similar to the issued 1883 No Cents Liberty nickel, but the country name is on the obverse instead of stars. The portrait is slightly smaller,
Reverse: The reverse has IN GOD WE TRUST in small letters instead of UNITED STATES OF AMERICA and E PLURIBUS UNUM. The wreath significantly larger, relative to the eventually issued type leaving just enough room for IN GOD WE TRUST at the top
Comment:
This piece has faint bluish hues grace the lovely and virtually pristine surfaces.
