Losbeschreibung

1854 Pattern Cent. Judd-157, Pollock-185. Rarity-7+. German Silver. Reeded Edge. Proof-64 (NGC). 62% copper, 26% nickel, 12% zinc. 3.4 grams. Obv: the Liberty Seated design as employed on silver coins, apparently created by placing a <em>silver dollar</em> on a reducing lathe, with the resultant swirly lines and soft definition, as produced. Rev: the denomination 1 CENT within a wreath of oak leaves and acorns. An attractive piece with minimal surface imperfections for the assigned grade. This is one of the most curious of all patterns.
