Description

The 1876 Proof Cent Pattern - J-1451 is a Judd listing for a proof cent pattern of the Philadelphia Mint, part of the Metric & Stella Patterns (1874-1879) series. It was struck from the regular 1876 Indian Head cent dies on a nickel planchet that USPatterns.com believes was meant for the Venezuelan 1 centavo, and USPatterns.com classes it as a mint error rather than a pattern. USPatterns.com lists 1876 among the years whose nickel and copper-nickel cents are mint errors struck on three-cent nickel or foreign planchets. It is struck in nickel with a plain edge. USPatterns.com rates it R-8. It is also catalogued as Pollock-1597. Cataloged as PCGS #61771.
