Owner Comments:


1858 1c Indian Head
Judd-208, Pollock-259
Rarity: R1. PF64

Struck in copper-nickel with a plain edge.

Obverse: Features the Indian design with Rounded Bust used to strike regular issue Cents from 1860 through early 1864. This is the Pollock/Snow subvariety with a centered date.
Reverse: a laurel wreath with five leaf clusters surrounding “ONE CENT” in the center.

Sharp-to-full in strike, this bold-looking, reddish-tan example is kept from full Gem status by only a few wispy obverse carbon flecks. Popular pattern type!

Pedigree: From the G. Edward Reahl, Jr. M.D. Collection, Part II.
