Lot 1089 - 1851 Pattern 1C. J-131 Restrike PCGS PR65
1851 Pattern Cent. Copper-nickel, reeded edge, unperforated restrike. This simple undated pattern features the legends CENT/ONE TENTH SILVER on the obverse, while UNITED STATES OF AMERICA and a small wreath decorate the reverse. Struck in copper-nickel with a reeded edge. Generally believed to be a restrike, since the centers are not perforated unlike the annular Judd-127 to Judd-129 counterparts. Judd-131 is listed as R.8 in the Bowers revision of Judd (2003), although uspatterns.com states that "about a half dozen are known." A die break, as made, is noted on the rim below LV in SILVER. A boldly struck and flashy specimen with outstanding surfaces and only a hint of tan patina. (#11558)
