Owner Comments:


1868 5C Five Cents
Judd-623, Pollock-692
Rarity: R.5, PR64 Cam

Struck in Nickel with Plain Edge

Obverse: The obverse is a larger variant of the three cent nickel design
Reverse: The denomination has a large 5 above small CENTS slightly curved in a laurel wreath with a tiny IN GOD WE TRUST above. Struck on a narrow planchet.

Comment:
Light golden iridescent toning is dusted over the boldly reflective fields and frosted devices. The reverse shows some natural, as made, planchet flakes that identify this piece, but have little impact on the grade or eye appeal.
Perhaps 40 to 50 of these are known per the USPatterns.com website.
