1865 1C J-403, RB PR (PCGS#70579)

August 2020 U.S. Coins Auction

详细说明: 1865 Pattern Indian Cent. Judd-403, Pollock-471, Snow-PT1a. Rarity-7+. Copper. Thick Planchet. Plain Edge. Proof-62 RB (NGC). Obv: The same design that the Mint used to strike regular issue 1865 Indian cents of the Plain 5 variety. Rev:The same design that the Mint used to strike regular issue Indian cents of the Oak Wreath with Shield reverse type. Bright orange-apricot undertones shine through an overlay of rich copper-rose patina that is bolder and more extensive on the obverse. Both sides are fully struck with razor sharp detail throughout the design. An area of darker toning at the lower right reverse border is noted. Although traditionally referred to as a regular dies trial striking of the 1865 Indian cent, Judd-403 may be a deliberate off-metal striking that the Mint produced for sale to contemporary collectors. In either case this variety is exceedingly rare, the uspatterns.comwebsite estimating that only two or three thick planchet specimens are extant. Provenance: From the Gorton Collection. NGC Census: just 1 in all grades, all categories. PCGS# 70579. Click here for certification details from NGC. Additional image by NGC Photo Vision. Learn more at NGCcoin.com
