1867 5C Five Cents, Judd-561, Pollock-622, R.5, PR64 PCGS. The central obverse device is a head of Liberty facing left, wearing a headdress of four large feathers and a ribbon with the inscription UNION AND LIBERTY. Resting in the hair in front of the ribbon are four large stars. The Chief Engraver's name LONGACRE F. is stylishly displayed at the truncation of the neck. The legend UNITED STATES OF AMERICA around, with the date in the exergue. The reverse features a Roman numeral V over an ornate shield, with IN GOD WE TRUST at the top. Struck in aluminum with a plain edge. Struck in aluminum and copper, plain and reeded edges, the aluminum pieces with plain edge are by far the most frequently encountered. J. Colvin Randall believed 100 examples were struck of this variant. Oxidation surrounds the devices on each side, subduing the bright flash of this aluminum proof. Fully struck.
