1854 Proof Cent Pattern - J-163, Restrike
Strike Type
Coin Details
Description
Judd-163, Pollock-189, rated High R.6. A later restrike of the hook-neck flying eagle cent pattern, produced from the same dies as the original J-163 but struck at a later date for collector sale. The design elements are identical: the flying eagle obverse with thirteen stars and date, paired with the undersized ONE CENT wreath reverse on a large cent-diameter planchet. Struck in copper with a plain edge. Restrikes of the J-163 were produced during the 1860s-1870s restrike era at the Philadelphia Mint and may exhibit a more advanced die state, with possible signs of die fatigue or light surface corrosion from the storage period between original and restrike production. USPatterns gives restrikes a weight of about 113 grains, against 90 to 100 grains for originals.
