<Our item number 102992><B>1863 Pattern Cent. Copper-nickel, reeded edge. J-<B>300</B>. P-360. PCGS graded Proof 65.</B> Nice golden colors. Has the "eagle eye" sticker and cert. for premium quality and a very special coin it is. The reeded edge pieces in Proof have long held a fascination with collectors. Struck from regular issue obverse and reverse dies, but with a reeded edge. This is the "high date" proof variant of this elusive pattern, of which approximately a dozen or so are believed known today. The Judd-300 is Mint's first experiment with edge reeding on a cent, and it is one of the few cent patterns struck with this feature. This is a special coin that has vivid, glowing surfaces. Fully struck with noticeable die striations in the fields, which impart a brief reflectivity on each side. Nearly spot-free as well. <B>Pop 4; none finer.</B> <B>(PCGS # 60455)</B>. <BR>Estimated Value $3,000-3,500. <BR><BR>Our item number 102992<BR><IMAGES><P ALIGN="CENTER"><IMG SRC="http: //goldbergcoins.net/liveauction/37jpegs//102992.jpg"> <BR><IMG SRC="http://goldbergcoins.net/liveauction/37jpegs//102992N2.jpg"> </P></IMAGES>
