1854 1C J-163 Original, RB PR67RB 认证号22019547, PCGS号11675

In 1854, the US Mint continued its experiments (started in 1850) for a small-diameter cent to replace the copper large cent. One of three obverse designs used on patterns in 1854 was James Barton Longacre's modification of Gobrecht's Flying Eagle design from the pattern half dollars of 1838. This J-163 exemplifies that design.
