1859 J-241 NGC PF63

Offered here is an impressive example of the 1859 Judd-241 Indian Cent pattern, a historic transitional issue that bridges the Flying Eagle and Indian Head cent designs. Struck in copper-nickel with a plain edge, this piece features James B. Longacre’s iconic Indian Princess head on the obverse and the laurel wreath reverse of the regular-issue 1859 cent. This rare pattern is prized for its status as the true first appearance of the Indian Head cent motif, making it a must-have for type and pattern collectors alike. With sharp devices, well-preserved surfaces, and classic mid-19th-century eye appeal, the Judd-241 captures a pivotal moment in small cent evolution—an important acquisition for any serious numismatic cabinet.
