1868 5C
Judd-632. Pollock-702,
Rarity: High R.7, (3-7 Pieces) PF64BN
Struck in copper with Plain edge
Obverse: The obverse bears a strong resemblance to the three cent nickel, except in larger format.
Reverse: Features a large Roman V within a wreath, similar to the later Liberty nickel, but the wreath is larger and there are no peripheral legends. A six-pointed star and scrollwork tops the wreath.
Comments:
This rare pattern was an attempt to unify the designs of the two nickel alloy denominations. Blended sea-green and chestnut colors grace this fully struck near-Gem. An occasional minute spot does not distract
