FROM THE GLORIOUS PATTERN COLLECTION. Starting in 1850, the mint began looking for replacements for the cumbersome large cents. Varied experiments in designs, alloys, and sizes were made before settling on the small copper-nickel planchets in 1856. Judd-150 is a VERY RARE, Rarity-7- example of one of these experiments. Struck in German Silver (63% copper, 27% nickel, 9.9% zinc on a 41.67 grains weight planchet the diameter of a quarter eagle. The obverse is a regular 1853 quarter eagle die, the reverse has ONE CENT in a laurel wreath. Ultra reflective GEM surfaces are boomingly flashing and bold. Sharply struck devices stand out in stark relief to the generally smooth surfaces. The eye appeal is very nice. Ex Stack's Bowers, March 2011, lot 6003, as PCGS PR64, where it realized $5,463. PCGS 2, NGC 2, CAC 1. This is the only PR65+ graded. The most recent example to sell in auction was the Bob Simpson PR63 at $8,100 in February 2021, clearly the Collectors Universe value of $6,000 is too low. Good luck. Cert.
