CCFPress Press Manager United States 1411 Posts	Posted 12/04/2020 4:21 pm At PCGS PR64CAM this example is tied with one other 1867 Pattern Five Cent J-562. Struck in aluminum with a reeded edge, these are much scarcer than their plain edge counterparts. An auction listing from this year notes about a dozen reeded pieces known versus an estimated 100 plain edge. Read More: Eye Candy Series Report this Post to the Staff

Coinfrog Bedrock of the Community United States 53614 Posts	Posted 12/04/2020 6:41 pm As I recall, aluminum was considered a valuable metal back then, before much more efficient extraction methods were devised some years later. Report this Post to the Staff
perfessor Pillar of the Community United States 896 Posts	Posted 12/05/2020 01:00 am This coin is much more beautiful than the boring Shield nickels of the time. Too bad it wasn't made for circulation. Report this Post to the Staff

Paul Bulgerin Pillar of the Community United States 2687 Posts	Posted 12/05/2020 08:57 am The "UNION & LIBERTY" on the ribbon is interesting. Is that unique to this pattern? Paul Bulgerin Report this Post to the Staff
dave700x Pillar of the Community United States 9501 Posts	Posted 12/05/2020 09:24 am That is a beautiful pattern and had they chose this for production it would have made an ideal racketeer nickel... 1883-O Nut Report this Post to the Staff
perfessor Pillar of the Community United States 896 Posts	Posted 12/05/2020 12:23 pm Racketeer nickel indeed. If this design was chosen they would have had to reduce the size of the shield to put "CENTS" on the bottom. Still a beautiful design. Report this Post to the Staff
Ballyhoo Pillar of the Community United States 937 Posts	Posted 12/05/2020 7:07 pm fined Beautiful. Personally, had they simply refine Lady Liberty's bust eliminating the addition of the feathered head dress killing the design and, as perfessor point out, reduce the reverse design slightly incorporating FIVE CENTS below, this would have been perfect as opposed to the Shield nickel. Not that I dislike the Shield nickel, simply an opinion. ANA member PAN Member BCCS Member There's no problem only solutions - the late, great John Lennon Report this Post to the Staff
freddo30 Valued Member 299 Posts	Posted 12/07/2020 02:28 am Correct, frog ; before they realized aluminum could be extracted from cheap bauxite. The 'the coin flipped' when aluminum became cheap and found its way into many countries' regular coinage. I've seen a number of these aluminum patterns and die trials ; they can be quite attractive in high grade. I like the pictured design as well as any. Report this Post to the Staff
