Lot 3309
1864 Pattern Half Dime. Copper, plain edge. Judd-378. Pollock-446. Low Rarity 7. PCGS "Genuine" Proof. Our Grade is Proof 60+. Probably cleaned long ago, still quite pleasing as one of the rare off-metal Patterns of this design. Copper pieces were struck from the regular Proof dies either to test the dies, or possibly as favors to coin collectors, a steady practice at the U.S. Mint since time immemorial (PCGS # 60549) .
Estimated Value $600 - 700.
