Lot Title:
|
1868 5 cent pattern, J-624, P-693, R-6, Plain Edge, Copper. PCGS PF-65.
|
Description:
|
Larger than a contemporary five cent nickel, with a broad edge that tapers in a manner quite unlike regular issue coins. The obverse mimics the three cent nickel, and would have fulfilled the mint's desire to have consistent designs among certain issues had it been placed into production. A reflective coin with streaky granularity on Liberty's cheek and surrounding the denomination, and a cluster of black grease spots near the point of the bust.
