Undated (1863) Pattern Two-Cent Piece. Uniface Obverse Die Trial. Judd-A1863-1, Pollock-3257. Unique (?). White Metal Splasher. MS-64 (PCGS). Secure Holder.
Possibly Unique Undated (1863) Pattern Two-Cents
The design is similar to that of the regular issue two-cent piece, although the motto reads GOD OUR TRUST and there is no date below the shield. Handsome silver gray surfaces with a little bit of paper still adhering to the back, as made. This "splasher" -- a uniface impression from a die that is usually struck in soft metal -- is considered unique by many specialists today. In fact, it is the plate coin in the 10th edition of the Judd reference. This prized rarity should be the focal point of lively bidding activity when it enters the auction arena.
PCGS#: 200
Pedigree: The plate coin for the type in the 10th edition of the Judd pattern reference.
