Lot Description

Incorrectly attributed as Judd-464 on the Generation 4.0 NGC insert. <strong>Obv:</strong> Similar to the adopted Shield nickel design, but the date is divided by the ball of the shield and the motto IN GOD WE TRUST is expressed in tiny letters. The remnants of an errant T can be seen in the field slightly past the final letter T in TRUST. <strong>Rev:</strong> The Dutch 5 reverse. The legend UNITED STATES OF AMERICA around a laurel wreath with a fancy 5 for the denomination within. Boldly lustrous with reflective fields, frosty motifs, and light silver-gold highlights throughout. This type comes in both thin and thick planchet variants, but we do not have a weight for the present piece.
