Description

MS62 Brown 1871 Three Cent Nickel
Struck on Cent Stock
Possible Judd-1045

1871 3CN Three Cent Nickel--Struck on Cent Stock--MS62 Brown NGC. 2.8 gm. Years ago, the present lot would have been cataloged as an example of the extremely rare Judd-1045, a trial piece struck in copper. USpatterns.com describes Judd-1045 as "fewer than a half dozen believed to exist. At least one of these is a business strike - possibly a mint error on miscut cent stock." Whether regarded as a pattern or a mint error, the present piece is undeniably rare. It is toned deep chocolate-brown with smooth semi-prooflike surfaces and a bold strike.
