Description

1868 Pattern Cent. Judd-608, Pollock-673, Variety I. Rarity-4. Nickel. Plain Edge. Proof-64 Ultra Cameo (NGC).
Obv: A bust of Liberty faces left with the legend UNITED STATES OF AMERICA around the border and the date 1868 below. Liberty is wearing a coronet inscribed LIBERTY, the design similar to that used for regular issue nickel three-cent piece production from 1865 through 1889. The date is placed high in the field. Rev: A laurel wreath surrounds a Roman numeral I. A fully brilliant specimen with fully impressed devices and a deep contrasting cameo effect over both sides. The uspatterns.com website accounts for several dozen nickel strikings of this type, which were distributed to contemporary collectors as part of pattern Proof sets along with examples of Judd-618 to 620 and Judd-633 to 634.
PCGS# 811733. NGC ID: 29MZ.
