(1960s) 1C P-4060 Private Issue, RB MS (PCGS#148705)

June 2023 U.S. Coins Auction

Lot Description: Undated (1967-1968) General Motors Roller Press Experimental Cent. Judd-Unlisted, Pollock-4060. Rarity-5. Copper. Plain Edge. Control Code 17-M. MS-63 RB (PCGS). Coin alignment. Obv:"Lady Head" type with female portrait left surrounded by nonsensical legends. Rev:Wreath encloses nonsensical inscription. Struck from dies designed by Chief Engraver Frank Gasparro and supplied to General Motors by the United States Mint, this the most frequently encountered of these experimental roller press cents. The Control Code 17-M identifies this obverse die as being installed in the 17th row, middle bank of the cylinder in the press. Decidedly scarce, and a fascinating relic of this ultimately failed experiment on the part of the Mint - GM collaboration. PCGS# 148705. Click here for certification details from PCGS.
