Description
1855 Flying Eagle Cent in Bronze
Judd-173, PR65 Brown
1855 P1C Flying Eagle Cent, Judd-173, Pollock-198, Low R.7, PR65
Brown PCGS. CAC. 94.75 grains. 93% copper, 5.6% tin, 1.0% zinc.
The Flying Eagle cent pattern in large format, featuring a
hooked-neck eagle on the obverse and ONE CENT in the center of the
reverse surrounded by a small laurel wreath. Struck in bronze with
a plain edge. To date we have seen three different compositions of
this pattern. It seems unlikely that the tin and zinc alloy would
allow the original red to remain on the copper, and that is the
conclusion of USPatterns.com: "rare showing any red color."
Nevertheless, this is an attractive piece with deep brown and blue
color. The fields are nicely mirrored on each side. What appear to
be heavy roller marks are seen on the lower-right portion of the
wreath.From The Tom & Jean Fore Collection.
