1854 Judd-159a High Rarity 6 Copper Electrotype. PCGS graded Proof 65 Brown. Similar in overall appearance to the Heritage FUN 2009 specimen graded MS65BN by NGC, though a different coin. The obverse of this unusual piece is a die made by reducing an 1854 silver dollar, but in such a way that many details are blurry, especially at the date. The reverse is a new die with a heavy, open wreath of oak leaves and acorns tied with a ribbon and bow at bottom, 1 CENT in the center. Many different alloys were recorded, but the Judd-159A, Pollock-186 is called a copper electrotype. Pollock notes that most examples offered over the years are electrotypes, said to have been produced at the Mint in such a way that they "have a clear ring." The devices show the circular lines from the reducing lathe. Yet the fields show a surprising amount of pleasing steel-brown to reddish brown luster while the surfaces overall are problem-free. Pop 1; none finer at PCGS (PCGS # 11654) .
Estimated Value $2,500 - 3,000.

1868 Pattern Five Cents. Nickel, Plain Edge. Judd-633 Pollock-704 Rarity 4. PCGS graded Proof 63. This scarce variety incorporates Longacre's attractive head of Liberty similar to the one used on the Three-cent Nickels but with more ornamentation on it, including beads along the coronet's edge, a large star implanted on it above the hairline, and a fancy large Roman V with IN GOD WE TRUST on a scroll above. Filling the open space is a small iron cross as well, all a part of the designer's artistic merit and sense of balance to his composition (PCGS # 60851) .
Estimated Value $1,400 - 1,450.
