- Lot Description
- 1863 Pattern Indian Cent. Judd-300, Pollock-362. Low Date. Rarity-6+. MS-63 (NGC). CAC. Copper-nickel. Reeded edge. Frosty golden orange surfaces with pale rose and violet toning highlights. Struck from the regular-issue dies of the date, yet with a reeded edge. The <em>uspatterns.com </em>website notes perhaps a half dozen or so examples of J-300 in Mint State format are known; the combined NGC and PCGS populations show a total of 13 pieces, though there may be some duplication of grading <em>events </em>skewing the true data owing to resubmissions. Either way, the Rarity-6+ designation seems intact. A lovely pattern that could just as well fit nicely into an advanced Indian cent collection.
