1866 Pattern Washington Five Cents. Judd-473, Pollock-564. Rarity-6-. Nickel. Plain Edge. Proof-65 (PCGS). CAC. OGH. A charming example with satin surfaces and frosty devices showcasing a bold relief. The obverse has Washingtons portrait with the motto IN GOD WE TRUST above, while the reverse is the adopted regular-issue type of the year with rays. An elusive and perennially popular issue with both pattern collectors and Washingtonia specialists.
