About This Coin
The 1870 Cent Patterns page groups the one-cent pieces dated 1870 in the Standard Silver Patterns (1870) series: strikings from the regular Indian Head cent dies at the Philadelphia Mint in copper (J-787), aluminum (J-788) and nickel (J-789). USPatterns.com has confirmed only the aluminum piece. USPatterns.com regards these off-metal pieces as strikings made for sale to collectors in complete sets, cent through double eagle, rather than true die trials.
