Description
1856 Half Cent in Copper-Nickel
Judd-177, PR65
One of Only Two Half Cent Patterns Produced
1856 E1/2C Half Cent, Judd-177, Pollock-205, R.5, PR65 PCGS.
70.7 grains. 88.8% copper, 8.1% nickel, 3.1% zinc. Regular dies for
the Braided Hair half cent, struck in copper-nickel with a plain
edge. These metallurgical trial strikes were produced in
anticipation of the Flying Eagle small cents that began production
the same year. Two variants are known of this metallurgical strike:
one in 80 / 20 proportion of copper / nickel, the other a 90 /10
proportion. This is one of only two pattern half cents. The
surfaces are deep cherry-red with light accents of blue, and the
fields are nicely reflective.From The Tom & Jean Fore Collection.
