While these pieces have traditionally been classed as patterns, it is possible that they were struck on leftover planchets used for regular coinage from 1857-1864 and thus may actually be mint errors. About a dozen are believed to exist. This is a bright example that typifies the "white cents" designation as copper-nickel coins were known when they were new. A bit softly struck on the tips of the upper feathers of the headdress. There is a subtle spot on the F in OF and a shallow, horizontal slide mark in the left center of that side that limit the grade. However, the mint luster is nothing less than outstanding.<BR><I>From The Jones Beach Collection.</B></I><BR><BR><b>Shipping:</b> Coin/Currency (<a target="_blank" href="http://www.heritageauctions.com/common/shipping.php">view shipping information</a>)
