1870 Two Cent Pattern
Struck in Silver-Copper Alloy, PR61
Unique Judd-793A, Judd Plate Coin
1870 2C/25C Two Cents, Judd-793A, Pollock-880, Unique, PR61
PCGS. Ex: Judd Plate-Simpson. One side features the
regular-issue two cent design. The other showcases the Standard
Silver quarter dollar design for the year 1870, with the date and
denomination centered within an agricultural wreath and STANDARD
along the upper border. Struck in native Michigan ore of uncertain
silver-copper alloy with a plain edge.This unique muling of two reverse dies is a fantasy piece, related to several other similar two cent patterns. The two cent side is almost entirely copper with streaks of silver at the upper left, while the quarter dollar side appears largely silver with streaks of copper. A handful of planchet defects are noted. Mehl called this piece a "Curious and very rare Pattern. ... Undoubtedly unique" when he cataloged it in 1944. Remarkably, this is the coin's first auction appearance since 1962.
