[L#0446] 1863 Judd-299 1c PCGS PF63 Red
Has toned an unusual shade of dusky magenta and old faded red, with devices razor-sharp. As usual with this scarce Pattern, the reverse-obverse die alignment is 180 degrees away from normal (so-called "medallic" alignment). Really choice with only one or two tiny flyspecks on the obverse. Judd-299 incorporates the normal Indian cent design except that it is made of bronze instead of copper-nickel as was regular coinage. Bronze was adopted for all cent coins the following year, 1864.
