Description

The 1860 Proof Cent Pattern - J-264 is a proof cent struck at the Philadelphia Mint, part of the Civil War Patterns (1860-1865) series. USPatterns describes this as the intaglio cent, struck from the hubs so the design is sunk into the coin, and notes a view that it belonged to J. T. Barclay's anti-counterfeiting experiments. It is struck in copper-nickel with a plain edge; USPatterns rates it R-7. Catalogued as Judd-264, Pollock-3236, Taxay EP290. Cataloged as PCGS #12054.
