1896 1C J-1767a PR (PCGS#62221)

November 2025 Showcase Auction U.S. Coins

Description du lot: <strong>Obv:</strong> A shield with thirteen stripes, having the motto E * PLURIBUS * UNUM above and the date 1896 below. Behind the shield are two crossed poles bearing a liberty cap on the viewer's left side and an eagle on the right. A scroll passing in front of the shield is inscribed LIBERTY. There are 13 stars at the border arranged seven left and six right. The border is beaded. On this obverse, the head of the eagle is under the center of the S in PLURIBUS, and the bottom forks of the scroll point between the fifth and sixth stars on the left and between the ninth and tenth stars on the right. <strong>Rev:</strong> The denomination 1 CENT is centered within a curved olive sprig with the legend UNITED STATES OF AMERICA around. The border is beaded. On this reverse, the upright of the T in CENT points to the base of the upright of 1 in the denomination. Charming lighter pewter-gray surfaces are smartly impressed with a smooth satin texture. A bit of very minor discoloration at the date is easily overlooked and mentioned here solely for accuracy. One of only half a dozen or so examples of Judd-1767a extant, per the uspatterns.com website, and a rarely offered type in any grade.
