Lot 1063
1858 Pattern Cent, J-208, rarity 4, copper-nickel, plain edge. Proof 64. Pollock-253, AW-264. Nearly a gem with most of the original mint color present, lightly toned around the periphery. There are a couple of very minor spots on the extreme edge of both sides, probably mounted in an album for many years. A glass fails to locate more than minute signs of contact. With the design elements as adopted in 1859, a proud Indian headdress on Liberty on the obverse, with the delicate wreath (no shield above), and ONE CENT at the center.
From the Madison collection.
