Description

Judd-414, Pollock-485, is a three-cent pattern struck in oroide, a gold-colored copper alloy. It is a striking of the regular 1865 nickel three-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. One tested oroide piece was about 89% copper, 5.8% zinc and 5.2% tin. It is struck in oroide with a plain edge; USPatterns rates it R-7. Catalogued as Judd-414, Pollock-485, A/W 516. Cataloged as PCGS #60595.
