Description

The 1865 Proof Three Cent Pattern - J-414a is a proof three-cent piece struck at the Philadelphia Mint, part of the Civil War Patterns (1860-1865) series. 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. The aluminum piece is unique. It is struck in aluminum with a plain edge; USPatterns records it as unique. Catalogued as Judd-414a, Pollock-486. Cataloged as PCGS #60596.
