[0703] 1864 Pattern Cent. Copper-aluminum, plain edge
<Our item number 79138><B>1864 Pattern Cent. Copper-aluminum, plain edge.</B> <B> Judd-355a. Pollock-425.</B> <B>PCGS graded Proof 63 Brown.</B> One of several patterns testing various alloys of copper and aluminum. This specimen has been labled J-355A, described in an older edition of Judd as bronze on a thin planchet, yet the newest revision of that reference makes no such distinction. Design as the regular issue without the L on the ribbon. Quite sharply struck and having a walnut brown color with attractive iridescence. In the current Judd, <B>the rarity of no. 355 is listed as High 7, with 4 to 6 pieces known.</B> Population reports on this series can be as confusing as the alloys used in minting. <B>NGC has not graded any Proofs. PCGS has graded a J-355 in MS-64 and MS-67 and a J-355B in PF-65.</B> This PR-63 J-355A in an older green label holder is not shown. Some of these may be the same coins being regraded in previous holders, only adding to the confusion. Nevertheless, an extremely rare issue. <BR >Estimated Value &#36;5,000-6,000. <BR><BR>Our item number 79138<BR><IMAGES><P ALIGN="CENTER"><IMG SRC="http://216.67.248.213/liveauction/31jpegs/079138.jpg"> <BR><IMG SRC="http://216.67.248.213/liveauction/31jpegs/079138N2.jpg"> </P></IMAGES> <BR><DIV ALIGN="CENTER"> <TABLE> <TR> <TD><IMG SRC="http://216.67.248.213/liveauction/ilgebaylogo.JPG"></TD> <TD> 350 South Beverly Drive Suite 350<BR> Beverly Hills, CA 90212, USA<BR> Telephone: 310-551-2646<BR> Fax: 310-551-2626<BR> E-Mail: <A HREF="mailto:brian@goldbergcoins.com"> info@goldbergcoins.com </TD> </TR> </TABLE> <font color=red> <h3>There is a 20% commission charge added to each and every lot.</h3></font> <P>We are one of the country's premier auction houses, specializing in U.S., World and Ancient Coins and Currency; Autographs; Manuscripts; Rare Books and other Fine Collectibles.
