1858 1C Flying Eagle
J-191, Pollock-233, Snow-PT14a, Snow Die Pair II.
Rarity: R.5. PF64; CAC Endorsed & Eagle Eye Photo Seal.
Struck in Copper-Nickel with a Plain Edge
Obverse: The regular issue 1858 Flying Eagle cent die, Small Letters.
Reverse: Laurel wreath design, nearly the sane that as adopted for use on the Indian cent of 1859, but with clusters of five leaves instead of six. This is the more common of the dies variety.
Comment:
Sharply struck on both sides, this pattern Flying Eagle cent is splendid and beautiful in every respect. Both sides retain noticeable amounts of the original "white" surface from the higher nickel alloy. Additionally a slight overlay of reddish patina is seen over each side, a bit deeper in hue on the reverse. The fields are deeply reflective as well, undoubtedly from the lack of any significant color.
This is one of the 12 1858 1c pieces part of the pattern sets distributed to Congress.

Rarity: R.5, PF64, CAC Endorsed and Photo Seal Endorsement
Struck in copper-nickel with a plain edge
Obverse is the familiar Small Letters 1858 cent.
Reverse Generally resembles the 1860 regular issue reverse, but there is no shield at the top and the closed oak wreath.Three arrows and olive sprig at the base of the wreath.
Comment: Heavy die polish lines and very few actual marks yields a stunning looking coin that is much better than the PCGS grade described. Nice reflective surfaces almost yielding a cameo effect.

1858 1C Indian
Judd-213, Pollock 252 Low date Variety
Rarity:High R6 - Low R7, PR64
Struck in copper-nickel with plain edge
Obverse: Indian Head with a pointed bust truncation, faces left, with the date below and the legend UNITED STATES OF AMERICA around the periphery (the adopted obverse for the Indian Head cent of 1859.)
Reverse: denomination ONE CENT within a wreath of corn, wheat, cotton, and tobacco leaves with the ribbon tips distant from the wreath. This variant the leaft that is closest to the C to about even with the base of the C 
the J-213 is represented by 4 different die marriages, which gives it an overall rating of R-5 in the Judd reference book. The Low Date varieties are scarcer, with perhaps fewer as High R-6 < 18 pieces .
This coin was part of a 12 coin set of transitional patterns struck as a replacement for the Flying Eagle cent. Like the other patterns in the set, there were combinations of dies used, this one with a Low Date, there are two Pollock numbers assigned to these, with a combined estimate of about 18 known.
The reflective surfaces can be seen in the light, and the strike is bold throughout, especially on the reverse which is known to be weakly struck at times.

Rarity: High R.6, PR64, CAC Endorsed
Ex: Simpson.
Struck in copper-nickel with a plain edge.
Obverse: The same Indian Bust as the issued 1859 cent with the pointed bust truncation.
Reverse: Resembles the issued cent reverse of 1860 with the oak wreath and "ONE CENT" denomination in the center but lacks a shield at the top.
Comment:
This obverse / reverse pairing is scarcer than most Indian cent patterns from this era with fewer than a dozen pieces known. This is a deeply mirrored example whose obverse is several shades lighter than the reddish-tinged reverse. Light carbon specking is scattered over each side.
Interesting that this is a seldom seen pattern especially since it viewed as High R.6 Rarity with some 20 pieces extant

1859 Indian Cent
Judd-227, Pollock-271
Rarity Low R.6, CAC.endorsed
Ex: The Eric P. Newman Collection
Struck in copper-nickel with a plain edge
Obverse: The same Indian Bust as the issued 1859 cent with the pointed bust truncation.
Reverse: Resembles the issued cent reverse of 1860 with the oak wreath and "ONE CENT" denomination in the center but with a broad ornamental shield has been added at the top.
Comment:
This attractive Select specimen exhibits sharply detailed design elements and matte like surfaces on the obverse, with just a few hints of reflectivity. The reverse is equally sharp, with a lighter, satiny appearance overall. Areas of light brown toning mix with the original orange-red. The overall effect is quite appealing
A side note per Heritage catalog was an early auction appearance was in lot 108 of the Lorin G. Parmelee Collection (New York Coin & Stamp), where it was listed in the pattern section along with an example of Judd-228:
"1859 Cents: Indian heads (adopted type). R oak wreath: garnished and plain shields: former rare: cop-nickel: uncirc.; 3 pcs."
From the cataloger's comments, Judd-227 must have been a more challenging issue in 1890 than it is today. Perhaps several examples surfaced in William Woodin's hoard in 1910.

1859 Indian One Cent
Judd-228, Pollock-272.
Rarity: R.1, PR66
Struck in Copper-Nickel with Plain Edge.
Obverse: The same Indian Bust as the issued 1859 cent with the pointed bust truncation.
Reverse: Again this resembles the issued cent reverse of 1860 with the oak wreath and "ONE CENT" denomination the in the center and teh 3 arrows and Olive Sprig at the bottom but this one includes the Formal Federal shield at the top as used from 1860 on.
Comment:
This mint state example displays blended shades of golden-bronze adorn each side of this superior Gem, accented by tremendous proof like reflectivity in the fields. This is a popular transitional issue, circulation strike survivors of which are almost exclusively in Mint State, as this one. This fact suggests that these coins were distributed to collectors, possibly in trade for items to grow the Mint Cabinet collection. This example is among the finest survivors known.

Rarity: R.3, P65BN
Struck in bronze on a thin planchet with a plain edge
This piece is another transitional variety Indian head piece; similar to the 1864 No L bronze cent but dated 1863. In this time period all regular issue cents were of copper-nickel. The dies exhibit medallic alignment, as usual for Judd-299.
Heritage auction described this cent as "a razor-sharp Gem whose deeply patinated surfaces display olive-green and ruby-red undertones. Immaculate save for a small spot above the 6 in the date and a few strike-throughs on the obverse rim between 8 and 9 o'clock."
