1864 Copper Nickel Proof 1






Obverse 1

Reverse A



Obverse Diagnostics



Date Position


Obverse 1 is observed with date placement at RE.

Reverse A has yet to be observed with any die markers.

Comments:  All proof copper nickel cents were struck from the proof 1 die pairing.  During the subsequent change to bronze planchets, the proof 1 die pairing wll continue in service striking proof bronze cents along with three other die pairings.

Rick Snow of Eage Eye Rare Coins was very kind in allowing me to use his images to illustrate the proof 1 die pairing for this web book.
