1865 2C Two Cents, Judd-409, Pollock-478, High R.6, PR63 NGC. Termed a "trial piece struck from regular dies" by Judd, this is the standard two cent design, but struck in copper-nickel with a plain edge. Approximately a dozen pieces are known. The surfaces are bright and there is a bit of reddish-coppery patina present also. Several small field marks and planchet irregularities account for the grade. Noticeably contrasted.
