Losbeschreibung

<strong>Obv:</strong> Charles E. Barber's Liberty Head portrait, used on the regular issue nickel five-cent piece from 1883 to 1912. The legend UNITED STATES OF AMERICA is around the border, and the date 1883 is below. <strong>Rev:</strong> The composition 75 N. / 25 C. is centered within a wreath of corn and cotton. The denomination is divided FIVE above, CENTS below, with 13 stars arranged around the border, seven left and six right. As described by the <em>uspatterns.com</em> website: "This is one of 4 patterns for this year using different alloys of nickel and/or copper showing their composition on the reverse within the wreath." Judd-1707, offered here, is traditionally described as "pure nickel" because the composition is magnetic, although most appear to be the stated alloy of 75% nickel, 25% copper. The Newman specimen is a lovely Gem Cameo Proof with a dusting of pale silvery tinting to smartly impressed, nicely contrasted surfaces.
