1869 Pattern Cent. Nickel, plain edge PCGS PR67 CAM
The proposed one-cent denomination featuring a head of Liberty by Longacre (who died in January 1869). Liberty is wearing a coronet inscribed LIBERTY, incused. Die varieties exist for this plentiful pattern, some have the date farther left with the 9 distant from the curl. The reverse has a Roman I in a laurel wreath with no inscription in keeping with the simple but attractive design. Lovely frosted relief elements on a base of swirling mirror radiance. Original color. Prestigious earlier ownership. (#60890)<p><i>HW Bass Jr Col</i>
