Not Sold Description
Rare Copper-Nickel 1869 Indian Cent
Double Struck, 2nd Strike 95% Off Center
Judd-669, MS60
1869 1C One Cent, Judd-669, Pollock-745, High R.7--Double
Struck, Second Strike 95% Off Center--MS60 PCGS. 58.2 gn.
Struck from regular issue plain edge dies, but in copper-nickel
alloy instead of the expected bronze. The PCGS insert further lists
the alloy as 81% copper, 18% nickel, and 1% iron. The first strike
was a few degrees off center toward 8 o'clock, causing a rim of
variable width. The first strike was also misaligned, such that the
upper reverse and lower obverse are well struck while the lower
reverse and upper obverse are softly brought up. Clashed near ONE
CENT, and the base of the 1 is repunched (unlisted in the 1992
version of the Rick Snow standard reference).The second strike is 95% off center toward 11:30, but remarkably features a virtually complete date. The second strike is at 12 o'clock relative to the first strike. Lustrous with straw-gold color. Minor alloy streaks (as made) and a tan spot on the reverse at 11 o'clock apparently account for the MS60 grade.
