Description

The 1865 Proof Two Cent Pattern - J-408 is a proof two-cent piece from the Civil War Patterns (1860-1865) series. It is a striking of the regular 1865 two-cent dies in an off metal; USPatterns believes most such pieces of this year were struck for sale to collectors rather than to test the dies. Many of the copper pieces have been silver-plated. It is struck in copper with a plain edge; USPatterns rates it R-7. Catalogued as Judd-408, A/W 520. Cataloged as PCGS #800087.
