Description

Judd-410, Pollock-481, is a nickel three-cent pattern that closely resembles the design ultimately adopted for the regular issue Nickel Three Cent Piece of 1865-1889. This nickel three-cent design is almost the same as the regular issue, with a higher date and broader ribbon ends that touch the dentils; USPatterns notes that these are often mistaken for regular coins. It is struck in nickel with a plain edge; USPatterns rates it R-6. Catalogued as Judd-410, Pollock-481, A/W 517, Taxay EP406. Cataloged as PCGS #60591.
