Description
1942 Glass Cent in Three Segments
Blue Ridge Glass Company
RB 42-70-X-2
1942 1C Glass Cent, Judd-2069, RB 42-70-X-2, R.8 -- In Three
Segments -- NGC. The obverse was modeled after the Columbian
two centavos, and the reverse adopted a simple James Longacre
wreath surrounding UNITED STATES MINT in the center of that side.
Compression molded in glass with a plain edge. Manufactured by the
Blue Ridge Glass Corporation of Kingsport, Tennessee, from
tempered, yellow-amber transparent glass. The piece is broken in
half, and then broken again, creating three pieces. The overall
appearance, including incomplete design and surface crazing make
this piece consistent with tests of the manufacturing process made
by the Blue Ridge Glass Company in late 1942. We only know of two
other pieces. One broken piece was included in the Jules Reiver
Collection (Heritage, 1/2006), lot 21890, subsequently offered in
our Long Beach Signature (5/2008), lot 2901. The second was a
finished, unbroken piece and was sold in our FUN Platinum Night
Signature (1/2017), lot 6170. This is a representative of a
fascinating and little understood area of modern numismatics.Coin Index Numbers: (PCGS# 12255, Greysheet# 298968)
