This is the popular precursor to the Liberty nickel. It is often described as the exact issue of 1883 but is struck from an obverse die with a slightly different arrangement of the stars. Examples were struck as follows: Nickel J1690/P1892 with between 2-3 dozen believed to exist including examples in the ANA Museum, ANS, Durham Museum and 2 in the Smithsonian. Copper J1691/P1893 with over a dozen known Aluminum J1692/P1894 with about a half dozen known. To see images of all of these, click here.
