Description
Judd-165b, Pollock-191, rated R.8. The obverse features the hook-neck flying eagle design surrounded by thirteen stars with the date below, consistent with the broader J-163 through J-165 family. The reverse carries the ONE CENT denomination within a wreath and UNITED STATES OF AMERICA around the border, but is struck from a distinct die identifiable by three leaves positioned beneath the E in STATES — a diagnostic feature that separates J-165b from the visually similar J-163 and J-165 reverses. Struck in bronze with a plain edge. USPatterns lists five or six confirmed, one in the Smithsonian. Reference data: struck in bronze with a plain edge, rated R-7. Catalogued as Judd-165B, Pollock-191, A/W 191, Taxay EP181.
