Description
Judd-168, Pollock-193, rated R.4. A restrike of the refined flying eagle cent pattern, produced from the same dies as the original J-168 at a later date. The Gobrecht-Peale eagle in upward flight on the obverse, the large cent-style reverse, the intermediate diameter, and the bronze composition with plain edge are all identical to the original. What differentiates this restrike is the die state, which may show progression from the original strikings — experienced numismatists look for subtle changes in die surface quality, possible rust pitting, or loss of fine detail in the eagle's feathers and the wreath's leaves. Reference data: struck in bronze with a plain edge, rated R-5. Catalogued as Judd-168, Pollock-193, A/W 200, Taxay EP193. restrikes exist.
