About This Coin
The 1836 Two Cent Patterns page groups the 1836 two-cent pieces J-52 to J-56a, from one design struck in billon, copper, copper-nickel and white metal (which may be tin-washed copper), with plain or reeded edges. uspatterns.com notes that restrikes were made from the late 1850s, the latest after the obverse die broke; no two-cent piece was issued until 1864.
