Description
1849 Three Cent Pattern, PR66
Judd-112, Deeply Reflective, Nicely Toned
1849 P3CS Three Cent Silver, Judd-112, Pollock-126, Low R.7,
PR66 NGC. The obverse die is of the Seated Liberty half dime,
while the reverse bears the Roman numeral III with no other
legends. A "coin without a country," allegedly struck in a 60:40
silver:copper alloy with a reeded edge. Save for a couple of unique
and unusual pieces listed in Judd for 1840 and 1846, the 1849 three
cent patterns in their several varieties are the first U.S. pattern
coins struck since 1839--or, to put it more precisely, bearing a
date after 1839. According to USPatterns.com, "Somewhere between
one and two dozen are believed to exist." This is a deeply mirrored
example with layers of pale blue and rose toning over each
side.From The A. James Evans Collection, Part II.
