Choice Proof Judd-158 1854 Cent
Ex: Harry W. Bass, Pollock Plate Coin

1854 E1C One Cent, Judd-158, Pollock-185, High R.6, PR64 PCGS. Ex: HW Bass Jr. The Pollock pattern reference plate coin (figure 70). A curious cent pattern design. An 1854 Seated dollar obverse was subjected to a crude reducing lathe, creating a smaller obverse die with blurry device details and circular lathe lines. The pattern reverse features 1 CENT encircled by an oak and acorn wreath. Struck with a reeded edge in an alloy of 40% nickel, 60% copper. A satiny pearl-gray example that appears mark-free at first glance, but shows a few faint hairlines on the right obverse field. Population: 2 in 64, 0 finer (11/07).
Ex: Julian Leidman, 5/73; Harry W. Bass, Jr. Collection, Part One (Bowers and Merena, 5/99), lot 1007.
