Patterns
1863 2C Two Cents, Judd-305, Pollock-370, R.4, PR63 Brown PCGS. The obverse displays a portrait of Washington facing right, GOD AND OUR COUNTRY around, date and two stars below. The reverse expresses the denomination 2 CENTS within a wheat wreath, UNITED STATES OF AMERICA around. CENTS is curved dramatically. Struck in copper with a plain edge. This pattern was struck in a surprising variety of compositions: copper / bronze, copper-nickel, oroide, and aluminum. The creation of this pattern obviously was a reflection of the popularity of all manner of Washingtonia in the late-1850s and early-1860s. This piece shows evidence of cleaning from its overly bright surfaces. The reverse fields show three shallow areas of planchet granularity, but there is only slight evidence of coin-to-coin contact.
