- Lot Description
- 1863 Pattern Indian Cent. Judd-299, Pollock-359. Rarity-3. Proof-64 BN (NGC). A transitional issue, this piece was struck from the normal dies of the 1863 Indian Cent but on a bronze planchet as adopted for regular issue small Cent production in 1864. Thin planchet. Medallic alignment of the dies.<br /> Fully struck, otherwise medium-brown features reveal shimmering pale-gold and pinkish-rose undertones as the coin rotates under a light. Nearly in the full Gem category, this is a delightful piece to behold.
