Description

The 1850 Proof Cent Pattern - J-124d is a proof cent struck at the Philadelphia Mint, part of the Early Republic Patterns (1792-1859) series. It is a muling of the 1850 ring cent obverse (CENT and 1850) with the ONE CENT wreath reverse of 1853, on a perforated planchet; earlier editions of Judd numbered it J-152b (USPatterns). Struck during the California Gold Rush era, when vast quantities of western gold transformed the American economy and led to new denominations. Struck in nickel with a plain edge. Cataloged as PCGS #62307.
