Description
Cataloged as Judd-128b (Pollock-152, R.8), this is a variant of the 1851 ring cent series, struck in silver with a reeded edge on a solid, unperforated planchet. The obverse displays CENT above and ONE TENTH SILVER below a solid center where a perforation would normally appear. The reverse carries the legend UNITED STATES OF AMERICA surrounding a laurel wreath. The unperforated planchet distinguishes this piece from the more common annular versions of Judd-127 through Judd-129. Most ring cent patterns were struck with a central hole, which served the dual purpose of enlarging the coin's diameter while reducing metal content and preventing confusion with the dime. USPatterns confirms at least five, apparently struck on dime planchets. Reference data: struck in silver with a reeded edge, rated R-7. Catalogued as Judd-128B, Pollock-152, A/W 121. unperforated - probably struck on a dime planchet.
