Description
Choice Proof Perforated
1884 Cent, Judd-1721
1884 1C One Cent, Judd-1721, Pollock-1929, R.5, PR64 PCGS.
CAC. Slightly wavy and holed at the center (all as made) with
the perforation slightly out of round. These experimental pieces
were intended to make small denomination coinage easier to
distinguish by the blind, and thereby to "remedy the inconvenience
of similarity in our small coin." The obverse bears the legend
UNITED STATES OF AMERICA about the upper rim and the date at the
bottom. The reverse shows the denomination ONE CENT at the top with
an inverted shield and two laurel sprigs below. Struck in nickel
with a plain edge. Although struck in 1884, this design dates back
to the 1870s. Approximately two dozen of these pieces are known
today in nickel, and the holes are slightly irregular on all we
have seen, suggesting they were hand-cut. The surfaces are
gray-brilliant with the occasional speck of carbon scattered over
each side.Ex: FUN Signature (Heritage, 1/2004), lot 8510.
