1863 2C J-312, RB PR (PCGS#70467)

Winter 2022 U.S. Coins Auction

Description du lot: 1863 Pattern Two-Cent Piece. Judd-312, Pollock-377. Rarity-4. Bronze. Plain Edge. Proof-64 RB (PCGS). OGH--Doily. Obv:Similar to the design that the Mint adopted for regular issue two-cent coinage in 1864, although the motto on the scroll reads GOD OUR TRUST instead of IN GOD WE TRUST. Rev:Also similar to the adopted type of the following year, but the word CENTS is markedly curved and the detail to the wreath is slightly different. Charming satin to semi-reflective surfaces exhibit a lovely blend of iridescent cobalt-blue and deep cherry-red colors intermixed with varying brown hues. Razor sharp in strike, this is a desirable example of the type that would do equally well in a dedicated pattern collection or an advanced set of two-cent pieces. PCGS# 70467. NGC ID: 29ER.
