1942 P1C Cent, Judd-2060, Pollock-4035, Low R.7, MS61 NGC. Part of the World War II effort to divert copper from the U.S. cent, this design was tried in various unusual materials, including red fiber and Bakelite. The obverse Liberty bust right design is based on the KM-198 Columbia two centavos. The wreath and legend reverse borrows from a Baker-155 Washington medalet. Struck in brown plastic with a plain edge. Burdette's First Reverse. Deep brown surfaces overall with porosity and die crumbling seen around the margins.
