1854 Experimental Cent. Judd-157, Pollock-185. Rarity-7+. German Silver. Reeded Edge. Proof-64 (PCGS).<strong>Obv:</strong> The Liberty Seated design used to produce contemporary regular issue silver coins, with 13 stars around the border and the date 1854 below. <strong>Rev:</strong> The denomination 1 CENT within a wreath of oak leaves and acorns. Vibrant and satiny, this lovely Choice Proof is essentially untoned with the lightest antique gold patina evident as the surfaces rotate under a light. As noted on the <em>uspatterns.com website</em>:<em>"The obverse design was crudely reduced from an 1854 silver dollar die using the portrait lathe resulting in many semi-circular patterns appearing on it. The 4 in the date is very weak, so much so that these actually look like they are dated 1851 instead of 1854."</em>A rare and interesting pattern cent.PCGS Population: 3; 2 finer in this category (Proof-65 finest).
