1851 'Ring Cent' in Copper
Judd-129, PR63 Red and Brown

1851 P1C One Cent, Judd-129 Original, Pollock-153, Low R.7 PR63 Red and Brown PCGS. The patterns Judd-127 through Judd-131 were an early proposed solution to the problem of an oversized copper cent. A billon piece that contained one-tenth silver was suggested, and patterns were struck with and without perforated centers and in various alloys. Judd-129 was struck in copper with medal turn and has a central perforation, which classifies it as an original striking. About a dozen pieces are known. This piece retains significant original red luster that is slightly mellowed by bluish patina in the fields. Housed in a first-generation holder.

Coin Index Numbers: (PCGS# 11551, Greysheet# 12128)
