Owner Comments:


1859 1C Indian
Judd-299, Pollock-359, Snow-PT1a,
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."
