1856 Half Cent, Copper-Nickel
Judd-177, PR66
1856 E1/2C Half Cent, Judd-177, Pollock-205, R.5, PR66 PCGS.
Ex: Simpson. A proof striking from regular half cent dies, but in
copper-nickel instead of copper. Plain edge. Judd-177 was likely
produced to test the new alloy in preparation for the famous 1856
Flying Eagle cent. Judd-177 is one of just two pattern half cents;
an honor shared with Judd-155. Despite the presence of nickel in
the alloy, this high-grade specimen is predominantly peach-gold and
rose-red. The open fields display electric-blue. The strike is good
except on portions of the dentils. Pristine save for a few pinpoint
flecks.Collecting Patterns – A Brief History and Commentary
