Lot 2062
(1759) Martha Washington 5 cent size Test Piece. 5.0 gr. NGC graded Token MS-63. Struck in 1965. See U.S. Pattern Coins Experimental and Trail Pieces, 8th edition by Judd and Bowers, page 289. As last, but the five-cent size planchet. Brilliant nickel-bright color and surfaces with an area of minor discoloration below NIA on the obverse. A smoothed rather than sharp impression was left by the pressure of the dies that struck some of the hair and cap detail on Martha Washington, but other areas are much plainer and detailed. Choice rims; freedom from surface marks.
Estimated Value $7,000 - 8,000.
