Description
Judd-220 is an 1858 cent pattern mule pairing Obverse 6 (the Small or "Skinny" Flying Eagle by Paquet) with the 1858 Indian Head obverse (centered date), so both sides are obverses. This mule coin combines elements from both the outgoing Flying Eagle and incoming Indian Head design programs, reflecting the fluid die-sharing environment at the Mint during this transitional period. Struck in copper-nickel with a plain edge, the one known piece passed through the Judd, Sloss and Lauder collections; USPatterns calls it a fantasy muling, probably made deliberately for a collector's cabinet. Reference data: struck in copper-nickel with a plain edge, rated unique. Catalogued as Judd-220, Pollock-250. ex Judd, Lauder.
