1858 Pattern Cent. Copper-nickel, plain edge. NGC graded Proof 64. This is a popular transitional pattern with design very similar to the adopted type in 1859. Collectors have long sought to extend their Indian Cent collections into 1858 with the addition of this coin. This example has mirrored fields and only a few light hairlines. There appears to be a coating of lacquer on the coin as well as a scattering of spots. Perhaps this coin would benefit from the use of a conservation service.
Estimated Value $1,500 - 1,800.
