[QUOTE="calcol, post: 8407008, member: 77639"]Judd-274 was struck from a set of regular dies. Difference is it's copper rather that bronze. In addition, there do not appear to be any high res photos of J-274 available. So just looking at the coin will probably not allow a determination of whether it is the pattern or regular coin. The Judd book, 10th ed., states, "elemental analysis is required". That said, an expert might be able to determine whether the coin is fake even if they can't determine whether it's the pattern or not. In addition, there have been cases in the past where coins were sent to PCGS, the form stated it was a particular pattern, and PCGS took the submitter's word for it even though an elemental analysis should have been performed. I personally bought such a coin, and after I had an elemental analysis performed, PCGS had to change the Judd number on the label. BTW, PCGS does not guarantee Judd numbers! Cal[/QUOTE]
