<p>[QUOTE=&quot;lordmarcovan, post: 2780758, member: 10461&quot;]That Indian cent happens to be a <i>pattern</i> coin.&nbsp; It is an 1858 prototype of the Indian cent design that was first produced in 1859.&nbsp; The shield on the reverse of that is slightly different than the ones on later Indian cents.&nbsp; It is a rare piece, and expensive even in the (unusual) circulated grade.&nbsp; US patterns are frightfully expensive.&nbsp; <a href="https://www.cointalk.com/threads/france-copper-specimen-striking-of-a-10-centime-pattern-essai-1848.284819/" class="internalLink ProxyLink" data-proxy-href="https://www.cointalk.com/threads/france-copper-specimen-striking-of-a-10-centime-pattern-essai-1848.284819/">French pattern coins</a>, not so much.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
