Because of its weight, we believe it originated as a Judd 5. John Dannreuther and Saul Teichman examined the piece at the June 2017 Baltimore show and it does have remnants of lettering on the edge. The Parmelee coin is described as having its edge filed in S.H. Chapman's copy of the Parmelee sale viewable on the Newman Portal. It appears that the traditional pedigrees for Dr Judd's plain edge Judd 3 and this coin have been confused over the years.
