USA 5 Cents 1759 (Circa 1985) Martha Washington Five Cent Test Piece Pattern. 77.52 grains. Very close to the 5.0 gm (77.15 grain) statutory weight of a Jefferson nickel. Unlisted in Pollock; who describes only dime; quarter; and half dollar diameter pieces struck in 1965 from similar Martha Washington dies. Struck in nickel with a plain edge. The alloy of the five cent piece has remained unchanged since 1866; with the exception of the 1942 to 1945 'war nickels.' USPatterns.com speculates that Judd-2182 was produced circa 1985 to test the Schuler coin press. The initials of Edward Groves are beneath the bust; and the tree touches the A in WASHINGTON. The surfaces are satiny and softly struck on Martha's hair; but problem-free overall. Schuler Press Test Piece. Judd-2182; Pollock-Unlisted; R.7. NGC MS 64 RARE ONLY ONE COIN IN HIGHER GRADE
