1850 Unperforated Cent in Copper-Nickel
Judd-124e, PR65 Brown
The Only One Available to Collectors

1850 1C One Cent, Judd-124e, Pollock-142, R.8, PR65 Brown PCGS. Ex: Simpson. Produced as part of an effort to reduce the diameter of the large cent. The obverse displays CENT and 1850 separated by two eight-petal flowers. The reverse exhibits a widely separated ONE CENT encompassed by a laurel wreath. Unperforated, and struck in copper with a plain edge. Numerous alloys were used in the production of these patterns. and both perforated and unperforated examples were struck. Only two examples of Judd-124e are reported in the Saul Teichman roster. The other piece is from the Byron Reed Collection, and it resides in the Durham Museum in Omaha. This piece is distinctive not only from the difference in color from side-to-side, but also by the die crack at the top of NT in CENT at the top of the obverse. The obverse retains significant original mint red luster, while the reverse has mellowed to a rich aquamarine with slight traces of underlying red.
