My wife didn’t know what to get me for my birthday so she gave me some fiat money. I’ve never owned a silver Kruggerrand (water spot is on the plastic) I really like the design.

The longer I live the more convincing proofs I see of this truth, that God governs in the affairs of men. And if a sparrow cannot fall to the ground without His notice is it possible for an empire to rise without His aid? Benjamin Franklin

I was able to pick up the 1863 Judd-302 (Copper Nickel) and Judd-304 (Aluminum) recently. This complimented the 1863 Judd 301 (Bronze) I already had.
These are all Proof 1863 w/L Indian Cents. Not as famous as the 1864 w/L proofs, but definitely much scarcer. I doubt many collectors have been fortunate to own all three variants at the same time. The aluminum composition is one of just 3 known. Interestingly, these should not be considered true patterns as they were struck between 1869 and 1871. These should be considered Novodels.
J-301 Bronze - PF64BN (Photoseal)
J-302 Copper Nickel - PF64 (CAC & Photoseal) - The carbon flecks are way more noticeable in the pics than in hand.
J-304 Aluminum - PF63+ (CAC)

Oh those crazy colonists while the mother country was distracted during the English Civil War!
Regardless of exact minting date - what a nice specimen!
