Description
1866 Pattern Shield Nickel. Judd-489, Pollock-577. Rarity-6-. Nickel. Plain Edge. Thick Planchet. Proof-64 (PCGS). Gold CAC.
Obv: 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. Rev: The legend UNITED STATES OF AMERICA around a laurel wreath, fancy "Dutch 5" within. A smartly impressed, frosty to semi-reflective specimen dusted with iridescent golden-gray patina. The uspatterns.com website notes: This is the second shield nickel design with Small Motto and split date combined with the Dutch 5 reverse. Nickel examples are known on both thin 54 grain and thick 75 grain planchets. Examples were struck in copper and/or bronze, Judd-490/491, Pollock-578, and are also known on both thin 55 grain and thick 71 grain planchets. About a dozen are known in either metal. Remnants of an errant T can be seen in the field slightly past the final T in TRUST.

PCGS Population: 5; 6 finer in this category (Proof-66 finest). Gold CAC Population: 1 in all grades.
