Description

Zinc-Plated Steel 1942 Pattern Cent
Judd-2054, MS62

1942 1C Cent, Judd-2054, Pollock-2074, High R.7, MS62 PCGS. This wartime variety was part of an effort to replace the copper in the cent alloy with a less-critical metal. The obverse motif is borrowed from a KM-198 Columbia two centavos. The reverse wreath is from a Baker-155 Washington medalet. Patterns were produced in various materials, but the present alloy was the one used for 1943 cent coinage. Struck in zinc-coated steel with a plain edge. Nicely struck and unabraded with a vertical roller mark (as made) behind Liberty's eye and one small spot each on the cheek and the second S in STATES.
