About This Coin
The 1882 Nickel Patterns page groups the five-cent patterns dated 1882 in the Design Reform Patterns (1880-1942) series, the designs that led to the 1883 Liberty nickel, all struck at the Philadelphia Mint. Charles E. Barber made three obverses and altered a Shield nickel obverse, taking away the ball at the foot of the shield, and the pieces were struck in nickel, copper, aluminum and white metal (J-1675 to J-1697); two carry five raised bars on the edge, the so-called Blind Man's nickels (J-1683 and J-1697).
