Description

Judd-409a is a proof two-cent pattern struck in nickel from the regular 1865 two-cent dies. 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. The nickel pieces are all business strikes and may be Mint errors on five-cent stock. It is struck in nickel with a plain edge; USPatterns rates it R-7. Catalogued as Judd-409a, Pollock-479, A/W 519.
