1882 Pattern Liberty Nickel. Judd-1684, Pollock-1886. Rarity-6. Nickel. Plain Edge. Proof-64 (PCGS). CAC. OGH.<strong>Obv:</strong> The portrait of Liberty is the same that the Mint used to strike regular issue Liberty Nickels of 1883-1912. The legend UNITED STATES OF AMERICA is around the border and the date 1882 is below. <strong>Rev:</strong> A Roman numeral V within a wreath of corn and cotton with the Latin motto E PLURIBUS UNUM inscribed along the upper border. The denticulation on both sides is relatively fine. A noteworthy contrast is displayed between the frosty design elements and icy, reflective fields of this near-Gem Proof. The complexion is overall brilliant and angelic, sporting just scattered traces of golden and bronze iridescence throughout. A beautiful peace that is certainly choice for the grade.
