- 1858 Pattern Indian Cent. Judd-208, Pollock-259, Snow-PT28a, Snow Die Pair II. Rarity-1. Copper-Nickel. Plain Edge. Proof-65 (PCGS). CAC. Transitional issue. Obv:Longacre's Indian motif as adopted in 1859, here dated 1858, the point of Liberty's bust rounded. Rev:The regular issue design of 1859, with a laurel (or olive - the Mint used both designations in its correspondence) wreath enclosing the denomination ONE CENT. The wreath is composed of clusters of five leaves. Handsome tan-olive surfaces. This die combination is a particularly important transitional issue. As such, it is certainly a candidate for consideration as a historical, "story" item for any collector of regular Indian cents. Only a few hundred are known. It has exactly the same status as an 1856 Flying Eagle cent: regular design one year early. The 1856 is famous, though curiously, the 1858 is not. Provenance: From the Jerome S. Reznick Collection. PCGS Population: 19; 5 finer (all Proof-66). CAC Population: 5; 2. PCGS# 11885. NGC ID: 29BP. Click here for certification details from PCGS.
