1865 Pattern Five Cents. Copper, plain edge NGC PF64 RB
Similar to the adopted 1866 With Rays design, but transition in that the date reads 1865. The reverse is from the die adopted to strike the 1866 Proofs with stars and rays around the 5 and a plain center dot. Very scarce and virtually gem preservation with attractive brown toning atop faded mint red color. A colorful patina of rose-violet and mint-gree iridescent toning reflects off nicely mirrored surfaces. Another elusive Rarity-7 Pattern from this outstanding group. (#60599)
