1868 Pattern Five-Cent Piece. Judd-633, Pollock-704. Rarity-4. Nickel. Plain Edge. Proof-65 Ultra Cameo (NGC). The obverse has the enlarged Liberty head facing left from the Nickel Three Cent piece, surrounded by legends with date below. Reverse with an open laurel wreath with ribbon above engraved with the motto, and a small Maltese style cross at the top with a huge Roman numeral V at the center for the denomination.<br /> &nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; An exceptional example of this scarce issue, and one of just three to earn the Ultra Cameo moniker from NGC, with bold visual contrast between the frosted devices and mirrored fields. Although available without this degree of contrast, the unearthly beauty of these pieces with the Ultra Cameo contrast commands attention from any who gaze at the surfaces.
