As America celebrates its 250th anniversary, Robert L. Rodriguez combines cutting-edge science, numismatic research, and detective work to uncover new evidence about one of the nation's most enigmatic artifacts.
1866 Five-Cent Piece. Dies 1-F. An illogical die combination, as both sides have the inscription UNITED STATES OF AMERICA; probably struck privately. One example of J-516 is clearly struck over an 1867 regular-issue Shield nickel.
Obverse Description
Washington portrait, UNITED STATES OF AMERICA.
Reverse Description
Regular die without rays, as adopted in 1867.
