1866 Pattern nickel, Judd-461, Pollock-535, Rarity-6. Nickel, plain edge. . J-461. PCGS graded Proof 65. One of the finest graded of this important and popular Washington nickel pattern. The recent PCGS Population Report shows just 4 graded this high with none graded higher! The surfaces are untoned with only the most minute signs of specks on the obverse, and one tiny speck on the lower reverse edge. Free of hairlines or other problems. The planchet is a bit rough when examined with a glass, as made, perhaps the Mint was having trouble working with the various alloys used, and tiny pits can be seen on both sides of the coin.
Estimated Value $2,000 - 2,500.
