详细说明

1864 Pattern Indian Cent. Judd-355b, Pollock-Unlisted. MS-64 (PCGS). Eagle Eye Photo Seal. OGH. Sharply struck from the regular-issue dies of the design type. Lustrous golden surfaces with the overall appearance of a ""white"" cent of the date. Repunching noted at the bottoms of 864 in the date. Judd-355b, as here, is unlisted in the Judd reference, the Pollock reference, and the <em>uspatterns.com </em>website. The specimen offered here <em>appears to be&nbsp;</em>of cupro-nickel composition on a thin planchet, at least&nbsp;to this writer (FVV), but the encapsulation makes it impossible to come to any conclusion based on weight or actual planchet thickness. No doubt it is one of the&nbsp;numerous alloy experiments carried on at the mint in 1864,&nbsp;a pivotal year that saw cupro-nickel and bronze cents issued for general circulation.
