1863 2C Two Cents, Judd-312, Pollock-377, R.4, PR65 Brown PCGS. The obverse is similar to the regular issue obverse of 1864, with GOD OUR TRUST on the ribbon above the shield. The reverse shows the denomination 2 CENTS sharply curved in a wreath with the legend UNITED STATES OF AMERICA around. Struck in bronze with a plain edge. A fairly common pattern; the USPatterns.com website notes that examples vary in weight from 76 to 101 grains. Crisply defined on each side, the surfaces are deep brown with a hazy overlay of gray-blue patina.
Ex: Summer FUN Signature (Heritage, 7/2007), lot 2241.
