(1851) Annular Cent in Nickel
Judd-131a Restrike, PR66+

(1851) P1C One Cent, Judd-131a, Pollock-156, R.7, PR66+ PCGS. Ex: Simpson. This undated pattern features the legends CENT / ONE TENTH SILVER on the obverse, while UNITED STATES OF AMERICA and a small wreath decorate the reverse. Struck in nickel with a reeded edge. Although Judd-131a patterns are classified as restrikes, the dies from which they were produced were created as part of a project to reduce the size of the circulating large cent in 1851. This Premium Gem is moderately reflective and contrasted with brilliant nickel-gray surfaces. A bit of dusky golden color resides over each side. Fewer than six pieces believed extant.
Ex: American Numismatic Rarities (8/2004), lot 1236, as Judd-131; Important Selections from The Bob R. Simpson Collection, Part III / FUN Signature (Heritage, 1/2021), lot 3070.
