Description

Judd-359, Pollock-430, continues the extended 1864 proof cent pattern series. This variety represents another step in the ongoing refinement of the Indian Head cent design during its transition year. The 1864 cent patterns from J-353 through J-362 constitute the most extensive single-year cent experimentation program in US Mint history, reflecting the magnitude of the compositional change from copper-nickel to bronze and the associated design adjustments required.
