Lot 1621
1863 Pattern Cent. Copper-nickel, reeded edge. . J-300. . P-360. PCGS graded Proof 65. Nice golden colors. Has the "eagle eye" sticker and cert. for premium quality and a very special coin it is. The reeded edge pieces in Proof have long held a fascination with collectors. Struck from regular issue obverse and reverse dies, but with a reeded edge. This is the "high date" proof variant of this elusive pattern, of which approximately a dozen or so are believed known today. The Judd-300 is Mint's first experiment with edge reeding on a cent, and it is one of the few cent patterns struck with this feature. This is a special coin that has vivid, glowing surfaces. Fully struck with noticeable die striations in the fields, which impart a brief reflectivity on each side. Nearly spot-free as well. Pop 4; none finer. (PCGS # 60455) .
Estimated Value $3,000 - 3,500.
