Description
1854 Judd-159a Cent, MS61 Brown
Seated Liberty Obverse
1854 E1C Electrotype One Cent, Judd-159a, Pollock-186, High R.6,
MS61 Brown NGC. An unusual pattern variety. The obverse die was
made by crudely reducing an 1854 silver dollar with a lathe,
causing prominent concentric die lines and blurry design details.
The date resembles 1851. The reverse shows 1 CENT encircled by an
oak and acorn wreath. Struck in copper with a plain edge. Judd-159
is a formidable rarity but its electrotype copper counterpart
Judd-159a is somewhat more available. Designated as Mint State, but
both NGC and PCGS have also certified examples as proof.
Predominantly toned deep chocolate-brown, although crimson-red
outlines the devices and legends. The well preserved obverse has
blurry features and a faint target pattern (as made) on the seated
Liberty. The lightly abraded reverse is comparatively sharp.Ex: New York Signature (Heritage, 11/2003), lot 11009.
