Description

The 1964 Dime Pattern - P-5335, INCO is a dime-size test piece made for the International Nickel Company in 1964. The obverse portrays Dr. Paul D. Merica, and the other side shows the laboratory named for him; USPatterns.com credits Gilroy Roberts with the design and Medallic Art Company with the hubs, and says the pieces were issued in sets with the quarter-size P-5340 and the half-dollar-size P-5375. Pollock-5335 has a plain edge and is 95% nickel and 5% silicon over a permalloy core (79 nickel, 16 iron, 5 molybdenum). NGC lists it as 1964 INCO P-5335 10C. Roger W. Burdette renumbered the INCO pieces in 2019; the sources read do not give this piece's RB number.
