Description

This proof cent pattern, cataloged as Judd-405, was struck in copper-nickel with a reeded edge, combining the same alloy as J-404 with the edge treatment seen on J-403a. 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. These copper-nickel pieces have a reeded edge and exist on thin and thick planchets. It is struck in copper-nickel with a reeded edge; USPatterns rates it R-7. Catalogued as Judd-405, Pollock-474, A/W 526. Cataloged as PCGS #60582.
