Patterns
1896 P1C One Cent, Judd-1768, Pollock-1983, R.5, PR64 Red and Brown PCGS. The obverse features a shield with thirteen stripes and a scroll inscribed LIBERTY that passes in front. Behind are two crossed poles, one bearing an eagle, the other a liberty cap. E PLURIBUS UNUM is above, 1896 is below. The reverse displays ONE CENT within a curved olive sprig with UNITED STATES OF AMERICA around. The border is beaded on both sides. Struck in bronze (several alloys) with a plain edge. These late-date patterns seem to us to be an understudied area of both patterns and late19th-century numismatics. The various bronze alloys of this particular pattern are worthy of study. There are also two different die pairings known. This piece shows the head of the eagle on the staff pointing directly toward the S in PLURIBUS. This is an attractive piece with light reddish-tan surfaces. A number of tiny specks of carbon can be seen on each side.
