Lot Description

<strong>Obv:</strong> A bust of Liberty faces left with the legend UNITED STATES OF AMERICA around the border and the date 1867 below. Liberty is wearing a coronet, the portrait is very similar to that seen on regular issue nickel three-cent pieces of 1865 to 1889. <strong>Rev:</strong> The denomination 5 CENTS is surrounded by a laurel wreath with the motto IN GOD WE TRUST inscribed along the upper border. The letters in the word CENTS are in a straight line. An intensely lustrous beauty with frosty motifs and satiny, reflective fields that form a modest yet complete cameo contrast. A wealth of varied champagne-gold iridescence engages both sides and further enhances the eye appeal.
