AV 10 Pesos 1885-Oa (Oaxaca Mint) rare mint
Mexico (Second Republic
MS-66

 

This piece is a modified example of Eastman Johnson’s pattern issue, with a raised and ornamented border around the perforation. This is possibly the only existing product of the United States Mint to have two separate and distinct borders, and is a lovely example of unusual pattern issue.

 

Nice coin. I had no idea the US had ever produced a holey coin, even as pattern. No mintage is given in SCWC but I am guessing you are one of the few to own one.

 

The Red Book of US Pattern coins says between 13 and 20 are know.

 

And now - 1884.

The three 1883 5-cent proofs produced as the US moved from the shield nickel to the Liberty nickel.

 

The only Morgan dollar I own!
