<B>1859 P1C Indian Cent, Judd-228, Pollock-272, R.1, MS65 PCGS.</B></I> The famous transitional cent with the design as adopted in 1860, but here dated 1859. These pieces were struck in both proof and business strike format. The 1859 patterns of this design have the oak wreath with shield design on the reverse, with the regular Indian cent obverse. Struck in copper-nickel with a plain edge. This sharply struck piece offers light tan-gold surfaces with glints of lilac and jade on each side. The Judd pattern reference comments: "Rarer than an 1856 Flying Eagle cent, another transitional pattern. The good news is that, unlike the latter, the 1859 is not listed in <I>A Guide Book of United States Coins.</B></I> Otherwise, it would become so popular that it would cost tens of thousands of dollars!"<BR><BR><b>Shipping:</b> Coins & Currency (<a target="_blank" href="http://www.heritageauctions.com/common/shipping.php">view shipping information</a>)
