Description

Judd-194 is an 1858 Flying Eagle cent pattern listed as the regular Small Letters obverse with the large ornamented shield reverse of J-193, struck on a broad planchet. USPatterns notes that the single listed example (Longacre 1870, Jenks 1877 and Maris 1886 sales) was never described by its obverse, and is probably a Large Letters J-199. Struck in copper-nickel with a plain edge, this pattern demonstrates the methodical way the Mint evaluated each reverse design against all available obverse dies. Cataloged as PCGS #11846. Reference data: struck in copper-nickel with a plain edge, rated unique. Catalogued as Judd-194, Pollock-237, A/W 254, Taxay EP232. broad planchet ex A.S. Jenks, Maris.
