1855 Flying Eagle Cent in Copper-Nickel Alloy
Judd-171, MS62
1855 E1C Flying Eagle Cent, Judd-171, Pollock-196, Low R.7, MS62
NGC. The obverse features an eagle flying to the left,
surrounded by 13 stars with the date at the bottom. The reverse
shows a wreath with four leaves under the E in STATES. Struck in
copper-nickel alloy with a plain edge. The holder indicates that
this is Judd-171 (60% copper and 40% nickel) but it may be
Judd-171A, struck in German silver (75% copper, 12% nickel, 13%
zinc). Metallurgical analysis is required to make a definitive
determination. According to USPatterns.com and the Judd reference
(tenth edition), it is thought that examples struck in German
silver are originals and coins struck in bronze are restrikes,
although some bronze coins may be originals. Like this piece,
bronze restrikes should show evidence of clashed dies. The surfaces
display beige-tan patina and a uniformly incomplete strike.Coin Index Numbers: (PCGS# 11736, GSID# 12218)
