Description
The 1885 Proof Cent Pattern - J-1740 is a proof cent pattern struck at the Philadelphia Mint, part of the Design Reform Patterns (1880-1942) series. It is a more finished version of Eastman Johnson's perforated design of 1884. The die was first dated 1883 in error and corrected with a 5 punched over the 3, so the coin is an 1885/3 overdate; more than a dozen are known. It is struck in silver with a plain edge. USPatterns.com rates it R-6. It is also catalogued as Pollock-1950, Adams-Woodin 1723 and Taxay EP1275. Cataloged as PCGS #62181.
