1871 Pattern Five Cents. Nickel, Plain Edge. Judd-1050.
Pollock-1184. Low Rarity 6
.
PCGS graded Proof 65+.
CAC APPROVED.
The obverse features a design that is similar
to the circulating three cent nickel pieces but on the larger for-
mat of a nickel. On the reverse, a laurel wreath, open at the top
encircles a Roman numeral V, the wide side of the V on the
viewer's right, CENTS below the V. A whisper of pale toning is
seen on each side. This example is the finest thus far certified
by PCGS, and is an enticing offering for the dedicated pattern
collector.
Pop 1; none finer at PCGS.

gold and sky-blue toning. No marks worth mention and with

1852-C. Winter-2, Repunched Date.
PCGS graded MS-
61
. The base of an underlying 1 can be seen below the center
of the base of the 1 in the date. Boldly struck with evidence of
typical die clashing on both sides. Honey-gold mint luster and
just a few small marks and abrasions are noteworthy attributes
of this splendid, conditionally scarce Charlotte-mint example.
Pop 7; 19 finer, 7 in 62, 8 in 63, 4 in 64.

1853-D
.
PCGS graded AU-58
. A mostly unabraded and
attractive copper-gold representative of this low mintage
Dahlonega one dollar coin. The strike is quite sharp aside from
softness on some of the dentils as is normal. We believe this is
scarcer in the present quality than the PCGS
Population Report
suggests, due to numerous resubmissions still on record.

.
PCGS graded MS-62
. Especially bright and lustrous for
this elusive type coin with frosty, reddish-gold surfaces. The
strike is sharp enough to bring out Liberty's finer curls and the
definition on the wreath. Even the often poorly defined central
details on the reverse are sharp on this example including all
letters of the denomination, however minor weakness shows on
the digits of the date. Several possible mint-made diagonal
marks are also noted at the center of the reverse. (

1855
.
PCGS graded AU-55 PQ
. Natural orange-gold surfaces
with some luster in the recesses. Liberty's face and neck are
free of scrapes, however, a couple of marks are in the lower
right field. Both sides show smooth, light wear. For the collector
looking for an eye appealing example, this one should work.
