(1856) Proof Cent Pattern - J-179a
Strike TypeCoin Details
Description
Judd-179a is listed as a nickel striking of the undated J-179 design: the bare flying eagle obverse with the agricultural-wreath reverse bearing only ONE CENT, with a plain edge. USPatterns has not confirmed a nickel example (Pollock-208), and Judd treated the piece once offered as one as a copper-nickel Judd-178.
