Description
Gem Proof Judd-2060 1942 Plastic 'Cent'
1942 P1C Cent, Judd-2060, Pollock-4037, Low R.7, PR65 PCGS. Cent-diameter dies were formed using two available motifs, a Liberty right portrait and a wreath, both similar in layout to the Lincoln Wheat cent. An urgent World War II need for copper compelled the U.S. Mint to find a substitute alloy for the cent. Pieces were struck in various compositions, mostly with poor results. The present piece is struck in brown plastic with a plain edge. This medal turn pattern has glossy and smooth chocolate-brown surfaces. Vertical lines on the central reverse are as made, perhaps formed as the piece cooled to room temperature after striking.
