Description
1853 Experimental Cent in German Silver
Judd-150 Thick, PR63
1853 E1C One Cent, Judd-150 Thick, Pollock-178, Low R.7 PR63
NGC. An experimental one-cent piece struck in German silver
whose metallurgical composition is stated on the holder: 63%
copper, 30% nickel, and 7% zinc. Struck with a reeded edge. The
German silver alloy was intended to replace the copper large cent,
the eventual end of these experiments was the 1857 Flying Eagle
cent. This experimental piece used the regular dies of the quarter
eagle with a reverse that has a simple wreath with ONE CENT inside
the wreath. Interestingly, there is no mention of the country's
name on the piece. The surfaces are bright and "silvery" with good
depth of mirrors in the fields. Struck on a slightly granular
planchet with very few actual post-striking impairments
visible.Ex: Portland Signature (Heritage, 3/2004), lot 6626.
