The August 2010 Boston Rarities Sale

详细说明: 1867 Pattern Five-Cent Piece. Judd-567, Pollock-628. Rarity-7-. Proof-60 BN (PCGS). OGH. The obverse features a left-facing bust of Liberty that is very similar to that used to strike regular issue Nickel Three-Cent pieces from 1865 through 1889. The legend UNITED STATES OF AMERICA is around the border and the date 1867 is below. On the reverse, a laurel wreath encircles the denomination 5 CENTS with the motto IN GOD WE TRUST above. The letters in the word CENTS are in a straight line. Struck in copper with a plain edge.<br />     The obverse is subdued beneath olive-gray patina, and both sides reveal a few minor carbon spots. This piece is overall sharply struck, however, and the reverse is a bit more vivid in appearance with more of an olive-orange sheen.
