<p>[QUOTE=&quot;robbudo, post: 1034869, member: 19243&quot;]From Rick Snow.&nbsp; Referring to the copper-nickel varieties with the shield.&nbsp; &quot;The non-proof examples were struck in large numbers and are found in very high levels of presevation.&nbsp; The ratio of very choice examples to impaired and circulated pieces is much lhigher than other cent patterns of similar rarity ... It is possible that many may have existed in a hoard until their numismatic value increased enough for collectors to care for them better, possibly as late as 1870.&nbsp; &quot;&nbsp; If you coin has a &quot;small die line in the denticles to the left of the 1, it is definitely the copper nickel variety with a high mintage.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
