Lot 1069
1868 Pattern Cent, J-608, rarity 4, nickel, plain edge. Proof 64. Pollock-673, AW-700. The obverse design is that of the three cent nickel, but smaller to accommodate the tiny planchet used to strike these, the reverse is a simple design with a large 1 at the center, surrounded by a wreath. Nicely preserved, with clean mirror fields and frosty devices. Minor flyspecks as usual and untoned save for a delicate streak on Liberty. Scarce in this state of preservation.
From Empire Coin Company at a cost of $45, then to the Madison Collection.
