Losbeschreibung: 1882 Pattern Liberty Head Nickel. Judd-1691, Pollock-1893. Rarity-6+. Copper. Plain Edge. Proof-65 RB (PCGS). Obv: Similar to the design that the Mint adopted for regular issue Liberty nickel production in 1883, although the stars around the border are arranged in a somewhat different manner. Rev: The No CENTS design that the Mint adopted for regular issue Liberty Head nickel production in 1883. A beautiful example with rich reddish-orange patina that glows with sea-green and crimson iridescence under direct lighting. Sharply struck and starkly reflective in the fields. A relative scarce pattern, this is the first example we have offered since 2012. It is one of the most desirable survivors and only 1 coin ranks finer at PCGS in this category.
