1865 Pattern Nickel Three-Cent Piece. Judd-410, Pollock-481. Rarity-6.

1865 Pattern Nickel Three-Cent Piece. Judd-410, Pollock-481. Rarity-6. Nickel. Plain Edge. Proof-65 Cameo (NGC). Obv: Similar to the design used to strike regular issue 1865 nickel three-cent pieces, although the date is closer to the bust. Rev: Also similar to the regular issue design, except that the ribbon ends are broader and joined to the denticles along the lower border. A delightful Gem dusted with iridescent pale gold toning. Semi-reflective fields support frosty devices, the contrast strong enough to support the desirable Cameo designation from NGC. Often mistaken for the regular issue 1865 nickel three-cent piece due to the similarity of the design, Judd-410 is obviously far rarer with an estimated population of only about a dozen nickel impressions (per the uspatterns.com website). NGC Census: 2; 0 finer in this category. The corresponding PCGS Population is 0/2 (Proof-67 Cameo finest). PCGS# 518793. NGC ID: 26VL. Click here for certification details from NGC.

Estimate:£0.75
