Description

Intriguing and Rare Pattern 1864 Indian Cent, One of Perhaps Two Known Examples

1864 1C One Cent, Pollock-426A, R.8(?), PR 66 NGC. This variety is not listed in Judd, but it is similar to Judd-356 and Judd-356a. Same design as above, struck on a thin copper-nickel planchet that resembles those of regular issue bronze Indian cents. At first glance, this coin looks like a regular issue 1864 copper-nickel cent. The surfaces are colored in pleasing golden-tan color that reveal hints of olive patina in the fields. Suitably reflective for a proof copper-nickel cent, the surfaces are undeniably pristine. According to the consignor, this coin is the finest of only two known examples of Pollock-426A, and NGC performed a metallurgical analysis to verify this coin's attribution.
