Description

The 1871 Proof Three Cent Pattern - J-1048 is a proof three-cent pattern struck at the Philadelphia Mint, part of the Trade Dollar Era Patterns (1871-1873) series. It was struck from the regular 1871 silver three-cent dies. USPatterns.com regards the 1871 off-metal strikings from the regular dies as pieces made for sale to collectors in complete sets, cent through double eagle, rather than true die trials. USPatterns.com records two in nickel on its Judd page, though its table lists the number as unique and notes that it may be a mint error. It is struck in nickel with a plain edge. It is also catalogued as Pollock-1182 and Adams-Woodin 1202. Cataloged as PCGS #61307.
