1850 P1C One Cent, Judd-120 Restrike, Pollock-135, High R.7 PR64 PCGS. The so-called "ring cent" of 1850 was an early attempt by the Mint to reduce the size of the large cent. This piece is an unperforated restrike produced with cracked dies, struck in billon (an alloy of 90% copper and 10% silver) with a plain edge, and is one of fewer than a dozen such pieces known. The obverse exhibits the denomination CENT at the top with the date below and blossoms on each side; the reverse exhibits USA at the top and the legend ONE TENTH SILVER along the bottom. This particular piece displays pale olive-gold patina overall, with deeper gray-brown toning in the central reverse. Well-struck with no significant distractions. Housed in an old green label holder.
