Coin Details
Description
The (2011-2013) Nickel Pattern - J-2221 is a five-cent-size test piece on a copper-plated zinc planchet. In 2011 to 2013 the Mint struck five-cent test pieces in candidate metals from newer Martha Washington dies, with mottos in reversed or scrambled lettering, for the Alternative Metals Study that Concurrent Technologies Corporation prepared for the Mint (USPatterns.com). The Mint told Coin World in January 2014 that its copper-plated zinc five-cent strikes at Philadelphia weighed 4.06 grams at the current diameter, on planchets from Jarden Zinc Products; as of September 2018 the only example USPatterns.com had seen in private hands was waffle-cancelled. NGC lists it as (2011-2013) J-2221 5C.
