Description

The 1884 Proof Nickel Pattern - J-1726 is a proof five-cent pattern struck at the Philadelphia Mint, part of the Design Reform Patterns (1880-1942) series. It is Eastman Johnson's perforated design with an octagonal hole, which USPatterns.com says looks hand cut and varies in size and alignment.

It is also catalogued as Pollock-1936 and Taxay EP1274. Cataloged as PCGS #62156.
