Lot Title:
|
1853 cent J-150. PCGS PF-62.
|
|
Description:
|
Judd-150 was struck in so-called "German silver", which was incidentally a common amalgam used by counterfeiters of the era for imitation of silver denominations. Except for a small flat spot just over Liberty's ear, this example displays exquisite detail, essentially identical on the obverse to the design of the contemporary gold coins. Evidently, a regular die for a quarter-eagle was mated with the experimental die bearing the "one cent" denomination. (but no statement of country of origin). PCGS identifies the planchet as a "thin" subtype, which correlates well with the stated weight of 41.2 grains; "thick" examples are on the order of 57 grains. Surfaces are trivially abraded, with more cartwheel effect than is usually expected of a proof striking. (PCGS# 011626)
