1867 5C Five Cents, Judd-566, Pollock-627, Low R.6, PR63 PCGS. The obverse resembles the issued three cent nickel. Liberty is wearing a coronet inscribed LIBERTY. Around, the legend UNITED STATES OF AMERICA and below, the date. On the reverse, the denomination 5 CENTS is enclosed within a laurel wreath, with the motto IN GOD WE TRUST above. Struck in nickel with a plain edge. Two to three dozen examples are believed known of this nickel pattern. A very small number of copper strikes are also known of this design. Each side displays a significant amount of gray-golden toning, of sufficient depth to subdue the brightness of the nickel alloy and the proof finish in the fields.
