Description
1854 Cent Pattern, Reduced From a Seated Dollar
Judd-157 in German Silver, PR64
1854 E1C One Cent, Judd-157, Pollock-185, High R.7, PR64
PCGS. 51.08 grains. 61% copper, 26% nickel. 12% zinc. The
obverse is derived from a Seated dollar obverse die, but crudely
reduced by a circular lathe to the diameter of a contemporary half
cent. The 4 in the date resembles a 1 because of the blurry
reduction. On the reverse, 1 CENT is encircled by an oak and acorn
wreath. Struck with a reeded edge in a German silver alloy with the
combination stated above (and printed on the insert). Several
compositions are known of this pattern, and only a few examples
have been subjected to metallurgical analysis. The surfaces are
remarkably bright and silver-like with a slight presence of hazy
gray patina. Each side is relatively problem-free, which is
significant when one considers the crude method used to produce
these pieces.Coin Index Numbers: (NGC ID# 299V, PCGS# 11650, Greysheet# 12177)
