This is the only pattern I own, secured from the rock star we formerly knew as Broadst--k after five years of pleading with him to sell me this coin; it's PCGS PR64RB, mostly light brown with red reverse toning at this point but with intact mirrors and unstripped surfaces.

    I think I've 6 or 10 or those that look just like that with toning and all in my desk drawer at home. I'll have to check it out when I get home.

    Which Commem is this?

    Nice Coin. Did you have a metallic analysis performed? Unfortunately, PCGS charges way too much for the SEM-EDX analysis. PCGS charges $230 per coin, while NGC charges $75 for the exact same service. I don't understand why PCGS charges so much, especially since their new sniffer capability can probably to do the analysis. Because of the differential in pricing, it's cheaper to cross the coin over to NGC and to perform the analysis there.

    92% Cu, 6% Sn, 1% Ag, 1% Zn ...anyone out there know if this has any bearing on the coin's rarity or desirability? I have no clue.

    The one percent silver (AG) is unusual, but is probably not significant.

    I am aware of no more than about five that have tested positive for silver, with the largest proportion being 2.1%. In my opinion, this is significant. Unfortunately, as we speak, I may be the only one who does think that.

    RKKay, Do you think that due to the silver content these should have an alternative Judd number assigned image

    That's a great question. I have tested so many coins that have such a wide range of compositions that, in my opinion, there should be at least one or two new Judd numbers created. However, that is not my call. It comes down to people with a lot more experience with patterns than I do, such as Andy, Julian, Saul etc. Just as an example, I have tested coins with a range of 93% copper, 7% nickel and 86% copper, 14% nickel. Arguably, those two coins should not be the same. On the other hand, where do you draw the line? I have tested coins everywhere in that range. One added argument for the silver ones is that it is a brand-new element that is added. One just sold the other day in a Stack's auction with 2.1% silver. One could ask how a coin without much silver could NOT deserve a new Judd number. What about the one coin I have tested so far which had .4% gold?image

    JMW and CommemDude both great pieces and about my favorite pattern as well. In my collecting days I once owned an 1854 (J-163) flying eagle since I was born in 1954 it was a cool addition with a personal twist. It was also a PCGS PR64RB. No photo of it remains with me which is sad, wish I had done that. I probably sold it about 15 years ago to raise money for something else at the time, I don't recall.

    I always loved the larger size of these, the eagle was so cool and different versus the small cent size.

    Great addition. Congratulations.
