<B>1867 5C Five Cents, Judd-562, Pollock-623, Low R.7, PR62 PCGS.</B></I> An unusual pattern with a bust of Liberty on the obverse facing left, wearing a headdress with four feathers and four stars, a ribbon crosses the hair and is inscribed UNION & LIBERTY. The engraver's signature LONGACRE F. is present below the truncation. A large V is placed over an ornate shield on the reverse. The motto IN GOD WE TRUST is above. Struck in aluminum with a reeded edge. About a dozen examples are known of this aluminum pattern. The surfaces are deeply mirrored with thick mint frost on the devices, which gives the coin a distinct but unacknowledged (on the insert) cameo contrast. Roughly handled in the past, resulting in the PR62 grade.<BR><BR><b>Shipping:</b> Coins & Currency (<a target="_blank" href="http://www.heritageauctions.com/common/shipping.php">view shipping information</a>)
