Description

Judd-404, Pollock-473, is a die trial for the 1865 Indian Head cent struck in copper-nickel with a plain edge. It is a striking of the regular 1865 Indian Head cent dies in an off metal; USPatterns believes most such pieces of this year were struck for sale to collectors rather than to test the dies. Copper-nickel pieces exist on thin 47-grain and thick 72-grain planchets, the thick ones probably leftover planchets for the 1859-1864 cents. It is struck in copper-nickel with a plain edge; USPatterns rates it R-6. Catalogued as Judd-404, Pollock-473, A/W 525.
