- Undated (Circa 1860) Private Experimental Coin. Judd-C1861-4, Pollock-Unlisted. Rarity-8. Silver. Plain Edge. MS-64 (PCGS). 24 mm. 11.1 grams. A private pattern produced, probably at the suggestion of the Mint, possibly on Mint premises. Obv:Indian head styled after Longacre's small cent design in sunken cartouche of ribbon with 12 curves, faint C (for engraver Chormann) in field below bust. Rev:Raised federal-style shield at center surrounded by fine engine-turned scrolling, within a broad scalloped ring, in relief. Beyond the outer curves, a circle with dot at each inward curve of the outer ribbon. Deep steel gray surfaces support bold design elements and plenty of luster and eye appeal. Highly attractive and extremely rare. For the pattern specialist this and the related lots may be once-in-a-lifetime opportunities. PCGS# 639366. Provenance: From the Q. David Bowers Collection.
