This and next paragraph should read: Five Cents Nickel. Type of 1866, with rays. Mintage unknown; 12 to 15 survive, R.W. Julian (personal communication) says the Coiner refused to make proofs with rays; .these are therefore clandestine issues. One variety, two batches' representing two limited strikings. State I: Leaf below RU detached but not hollow; polish in leaves at 2:45; unpolished areas at bases of white stripes; scattered vertical striae at rim r. of date; rev. rays below T(ES) hollow; dentils at 2:30-5:00 thin and well separated. Possibly 5 to 7 survive. State II: Repolished. Outer leaf below U now hollow; rev. rays below T(ES) more obviously attenuated, as are those at IC; dentils at r. still weaker. Borders are wider at left obverse than at right. (Rest as in original text.) |
