Description

Judd-368, Pollock-439, continues the 1864 two-cent refinement series. This sixth variety represents another iteration of the shield obverse design, testing a modified wreath on the reverse or adjustments to the denomination numeral and text arrangement. The wheat wreath that characterizes the production two-cent piece's reverse went through several variations before the final version was selected, and these patterns document that evolutionary process.

Rarity Notes

Rarity-7. Approximately 5-10 specimens known.
