Lot 1232
1859 Pattern Cent. Copper-nickel, plain edge. Judd-228. Pollock-272. Rarity 1. NGC graded MS-64. Lots of mint luster. A perennial favorite. Because this issue was struck on a coining press and in relatively large numbers for a Pattern, many collectors of Indian Cents buy one for their regular collection as sort of a transition coin. J-228 incorporates the regular obverse of 1859 with the shield-and-wreath reverse introduced in 1860. Pop 39; 50 finer, 42 in 65, 1 in 65+, 7 in 66. (PCGS # 11932) .
Estimated Value $1,100 - 1,200.
