1854 Pattern Cent. German Silver. . Judd-157a. Pollock-185. NGC graded Proof 64. The Judd variety number of the german silver 1854 pattern cents depends on the exact composition of the metal used for striking the coins. As NGC had the opportunity to carefully examine this specimen prior to encapsulation, we offer it with their designation of Judd-157a, a possibly unique coin. Nevertheless, all varieties of 1854 german silver pattern cents are extremely rare, being listed in Judd from High R 6 to Unique. The obverse is weakly struck with circular engine turning distinctly visible on the obverse. The date hints at 1854, though at arm's length one might guess at 1851 and the 8 and 5 are likewise not completely formed. The reverse is much more sharply struck. Pop 2, this coin tied for the finest of 2 graded by NGC and possibly one and the same coin. None have been graded by PCGS. (PCGS # 11650) .
Estimated Value $15,000 - 17,500.
