Description
1870 Two Cent in Nickel
Judd-792, PR65+
Only Three Pieces Known
1870 2C Two Cents, Judd-792, Pollock-878, R.8, PR65+ PCGS.
CAC. Ex: Simpson. The dies are the regular two cent piece of
1870, but here struck in nickel with a plain edge. USPatterns.com
notes that "fewer than 3 known." Also struck in copper (but
probably masquerading as a regular issue proof), aluminum, and
silver-copper ore native to Michigan. All of these issues are rare.
The last nickel example we sold was in our 1997 ANA Signature. The
surfaces are bright and the fields are highly reflective with
steel-blue color on the obverse, layered pale rose and steel-blue
on the reverse.Coin Index Numbers: (Variety PCGS# 800050, Base PCGS# 61034, Greysheet# 373551)
