1853 E1C One Cent, Judd-150 Thick, Pollock-178, Low R.7, PR64 PCGS. CAC. Ex: Simpson. An experimental one cent piece struck in German silver. Struck with a reeded edge. The German silver alloy was intended to replace the copper large cent, the eventual end of these experiments was the 1857 Flying Eagle cent. This experimental piece used the regular dies of the quarter eagle with a reverse that has a simple wreath with ONE CENT inside the wreath. Interestingly, there is no mention of the country's name on the piece. The obverse is bright and untoned, while the reverse shows slight, even reddish-gray patina. Sharply detailed throughout.
