    agree. 58.
    there is a FE cent with the same reverse I believe.

    Andy, Is the example you posted struck on something other than metal? Looks to me like it's been struck on leather.

    I believe I read somewhere that there were some no-date patterns struck on leather in 1858 similar to the J-216 Cu-Ni broad planchet?

    Give Lakesammman a buzz on this one. He'd probably pay at least $50K for it.image

    The coins struck in leather,if i remember right,the ones i've seen anyways,were of a 1856 Flying Eagle cent.I almost bid on them.

    As far as the Indian,i'll guess 1859 or 60?
    NUMO

    Cool pattern, I saw its "sister" recently. I believe both are master die trial strikes in copper-nickel, with the centering dots intact even on the obverse.

    Actually, one has to draw a line somewhere and mine is to not collect master die trials, off metal strikes, etc. It just gets crazy expensive if you try to do all of them.

    Quite the contrary - it was a compliment, with just a smidgen of envy atached.image
