Lot 1061
1858 Pattern Cent, J-204, rarity 5, copper-nickel, plain edge. Proof 64. Pollock 248, AW-257. A near gem example of the skinny eagle design, with the oak leaf reverse with broad shield at the top. Thought to have been designed by Anthony C. Pacquet as the letters are tall and thin, with the awkward eagle found on many of his other designs. Rosy-pink copper color on both sides, and well centered and struck on a thick planchet. Minor hairlines are the only detriment, free of the usual heavy spotting often seen on these.
From the Madison Collection.
