Gold with reeded edge JC1868-1/P5105 with only 2 or 3 known as follows: 1) B/M 1/96 68.3 grains ?, B/M 3/99 ?, Superior 9/99 ?, Heritage 1/19 FUN – NGC66 - perfect dies, there could be 2 coins here. 2) Parke-Bernet 1/71 70 grains, Peters 8/73 ANA, Kaufman-RARCOA 6/78 67 grains, Stacks 5/98 68 grains, Stacks 10/98, Stacks 12/99, Stacks 3/00, Stacks 10/01 – Unc 63 with obverse die cracked as illustrated below Nickel with reeded edge JC1868-2/P5110 is unconfirmed. It may be a misdescription of JC1866-6/P5101. Nickel with plain edge JC1868-3/P5115 is possibly unique and is ex White-B/M 9/89, B/M 6/91, Stacks 9/94, Kagin's 9/17. It was struck after the obverse die cracked and is illustrated above. Click on the thumbnail image to see an enlargement. Lead with reeded edge JC1868-4/P5120 is also believed to be unique and is also ex Merkin, White-B/M 9/89, B/M 6/91, Kagin's 9/17, Saul Teichman, Midwest collection. It appears to be a true test piece, on a thick planchet. As the obverse die is not cracked, it is likely the first piece struck from the die. It is also doublestruck with the 1868 date incused and reversed at 3:00, 6:00 and 9:00 as if a date punch was applied to the coin after striking. It is illustrated below. Incomplete reverse die trials P3302 & P3305 are also known. These are listed by Pollock as splashers for 3 cent pieces. Photos courtesy of Kagins.
