1861 P1c Copper J-274 BN

Coin / United States of America / P1c / Patterns / 1861 / Philadelphia

1861 Cent. Struck from regular dies. Elemental analysis is required to tell copper from bronze. Examples have not been available for study to determine whether struck from Proof or circulation-strike dies. Only two or three are believed to exist and are probably masquerading as toned copper-nickel pieces in error.
