1882 Proof Nickel Pattern - J-1694a
Strike TypeCoin Details
Description
The 1882 Proof Nickel Pattern - J-1694a is a proof five-cent pattern struck at the Philadelphia Mint, part of the Design Reform Patterns (1880-1942) series. It uses a Shield nickel obverse from which Charles E. Barber took away the ball at the foot of the shield. USPatterns.com doubts this small, thin-planchet listing from the 7th edition of Judd, thinks it may be a mint error with the ball still above the date, and says it should probably be discredited. It is struck in copper with a plain edge. USPatterns.com lists it as unique. It is also catalogued as Pollock-1896 and Taxay EP1241. Cataloged as PCGS #45350.
