    From my pattern collection: PCGS Proof 65+: Population 1, 2 graded
    higher.

    Absolutely love the Longacre's Indian Princess design motif's. Plus being a mule combined with the Std silver reverse - thus no mention of our country. Nice piece.

    J-1460 NGC PR63BN
    While this piece has been called a 'Sailor Head’ in auction catalogs, it does fall short of the sailor head designs of the smaller denomination counter parts as it’s missing the drapery that surrounds her shoulders. It's this drapery that create an image of a collar, and when combined with the hair style, resembles a sailor uniform.

    This piece is traced to Stacks Nov 1965 (Ewalt Collection Auction ) / Lot #65 and thus to the B. Max Mehl Nov 1944 -Fred E. Olsen Numismatic Auction/ Lot# 52.

    I just bought this Pattern!

    I think it’s so cool to have a natural looking Indian Head Cent dated 1858!

    CAC and also an Eagle Eye Photo Seal. There are a total of 50 of these 1858 Pattern J-211 Indian Head Cents graded PR64 (29 by PCGS and 21 by NGC). Of those 50, only 8 have a CAC sticker!

    The obverse is similar to the issued Indian Cent, but dated 1858. The reverse is similar to the issued 1860 cent reverse, except there is no shield between the ends of the laurel wreath. This is the centered date, broad bust point variant, thus the Pollock-262.

    Sea-green, reddish, and blue tints make an appearance, making for a lovely original skin. Fields flash with healthy proof brilliance, while the central devices are lightly frosted.
