Description
1854 Cent Pattern in Copper
Judd-159a, MS63 Brown
1854 E1C One Cent, Judd-159a Electrotype, Pollock-186, High R.6,
MS63 Brown NGC. 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 in
copper with a plain edge. Light tan-brown patina has occasional
hints of blue interspersed on each side. As usual, the reducing
lathe diminished many details including the crossbar of the 4,
causing the date to resemble 1851. NGC thought so too; the result
was an 1851 date on the insert. NGC has also designated the piece
as a Judd-159 electrotype, equivalent to Judd-159a. Judd-159 is
High R.7, while electrotypes of Judd-159 (Judd-159a) are rare but
collectible.Ex: Pre-Long Beach Sale (Superior, 9/1999), lot 1373; William Rau Collection / Central States Signature (Heritage, 4/2018), lot 4915.
