1882 Pattern Liberty Head Nickel. Judd-1680, Pollock-1882. Rarity-6-.

1882 Pattern Liberty Head Nickel. Judd-1680, Pollock-1882. Rarity-6-. Nickel. Plain Edge. Proof-68 Cameo (NGC). Obv: Bust of Liberty facing left, with the legend UNITED STATES OF AMERICA around the periphery and the date 1882 below. The portrait is similar to that adopted for regular issue Liberty Head nickel production in 1883. Rev: The Roman numeral V within a wreath of corn and cotton, with the Latin motto E PLURIBUS UNUM above the wreath. Blushes of faint sandy-gold iridescence grace the otherwise bright silver surfaces of this premium Ultra Gem Cameo Proof. The deeply frosted devices intricately project from the watery and reflective fields, exhibiting a stunning cameo contrast. The design elements of the adopted Liberty Head nickel of 1883 are generally here, save for the obverse stars, which pressed UNITED STATES OF AMERICA to the periphery of the reverse and moved E PLURIBUS UNUM to the base of that side instead of at the top, as here. One can almost envision holding this coin and passing it back and forth, and saying "change this", "move this here", and "I like the head of Liberty, leave that alone". Single finest certified for this Judd number, and the glorious Cameo contrast adds considerable eye appeal to an already gorgeous Ultra Gem example of this important pattern issue. Provenance: From Legend Rare Coin Auctions' Regency Auction XXIII, October 2017, lot 438. NGC Census: 1; 0 graded higher in any category. PCGS reports no grading events in any category above the Proof-66 numeric level, and there are no grading events listed in the DCAM/UCAM category at either service. PCGS# 414437. NGC ID: 2AK4.
