1850 Proof Cent Pattern - J-124f
Strike TypeCoin Details
Description
Designated Judd-124f and Pollock-143, this pattern shares the familiar Braided Hair obverse designed by Christian Gobrecht, with Liberty facing left amid thirteen stars and the date 1850. The reverse carries a laurel wreath enclosing ONE CENT within the legend UNITED STATES OF AMERICA. Like J-124d, this variety is struck in nickel on a 27.5mm, 10.89-gram planchet with a plain edge. The subtle die variation distinguishing J-124f from other nickel strikings of this date places it among the scarcest die marriages in the 1850 cent pattern series. All confirmed proof specimens of this date are extremely rare, with only a half dozen verified across all die pairings. Cataloged as PCGS #62311.
