Lot 3288
1868 Pattern Three Cents. Nickel, plain edge, thick planchet. . J-615. . P-680. PCGS graded Proof 61. A touch of light rose toning. In an old green label holder. Pop 1 with 1 in 64; only 2 graded by PCGS. Are you one of those sophisticated Pattern buyers who like a challenge, someone who goes for the rarest of the rare among these intriguing issues? Then this attractive thick-planchet Judd-615 Pattern is the rarity for you. The toning is quite colorful for a "nickel" based alloy, with warm golds turning to lovely peach-orange hues in places. This, unlike the commoner standard issue of Judd-615, was struck on an extra large planchet that is thicker than normal. It has an extremely broad square rim on the obverse, juxtaposed with a much more normal looking raised rim on the reverse. Unusual to say the least (PCGS # 70827) .
Estimated Value $4,500 - 5,500.
