Description
The 1850 Proof Cent Pattern - J-124g is a proof cent struck at the Philadelphia Mint, part of the Early Republic Patterns (1792-1859) series. One side has CENT above and 1850 below with stars at the sides; the other has only a denticled border, probably from the same die as the blank side of the J-136 gold dollar (Heritage; 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. Cataloged as PCGS #62312. Reference data: struck in nickel with a plain edge, rated R-7. Catalogued as Judd-124G, Pollock-145, A/W 138.
