Lot Description

1865 Pattern Indian Cent. Judd-406, Pollock-475. Rarity-6-. Nickel. Plain Edge. Proof-64 (PCGS). Eagle Eye Photo Seal. Secure Holder. Obv: from the die of the circulating Indian cents of the date. Rev: same comment as obverse. Lustrous steel-gray with a decided olive glow. The strike is crisp throughout, and other than some tiny flecks that become apparent under low magnification, surface marks are at an absolute minimum. The <em>uspatterns.com </em>website notes that: "These are so-called regular dies trial pieces but most of these off-metal coins were deliberately struck for sale to collectors, often as part of complete sets." An attractive scarce and desirable pattern, especially&nbsp;among Indian cent aficionados.<br /> <br />
