About This Coin
The 1792 Cent Patterns page groups the 1792 one-cent pieces listed in Judd's United States Pattern Coins. They include the silver-center cent (J-1), a small copper cent with a silver plug at its center, its solid companion J-2, struck from the same dies in copper or billon, and the Birch cents (J-3 to J-6), which carry the name BIRCH on the truncation of the bust. uspatterns.com regards the Birch cent as the forerunner of the large cent struck from 1793, and the unique white metal J-6 carries the letters G*W.Pt. for George Washington, President.
