Description
Judd-406a is a variant of the J-406 cent pattern distinguished by its composition, struck in a nickel-silver (also called German silver) alloy rather than the pure nickel of J-406. 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. USPatterns believes J-406a is the same as J-406. It is struck in nickel-silver with a plain edge; USPatterns rates it R-5. Catalogued as Judd-406a, Pollock-475. Cataloged as PCGS #60584.
