Lot Description

<strong>Obv:</strong> Liberty head facing left with coronet on which LIBERTY is inscribed in raised letters and no star. The legend UNITED STATES OF AMERICA encircles the periphery, the date 1868 is below. <strong>Rev:</strong> A large open laurel wreath with fruit, within which is the denomination 5 / CENTS and above the motto IN GOD WE TRUST in tiny letters. Struck on a broad nickel planchet with wide rims to frame and protect the designs. Classic nickel-gray color shimmer across reflective and frosty surfaces. Perhaps 25 to 30 examples of this type exist today in all grades, and this beautiful near-Gem will become a prize for the astute specialist.
