Description
The 1871 Proof Two Cent Pattern - J-1043 is a proof two-cent pattern struck at the Philadelphia Mint, part of the Trade Dollar Era Patterns (1871-1873) series. It was struck from the regular 1871 two-cent dies. USPatterns.com regards the 1871 off-metal strikings from the regular dies as pieces made for sale to collectors in complete sets, cent through double eagle, rather than true die trials. USPatterns.com records two copper examples, ex Brenner and Brand and ex Newcomer, though its table lists the number as unique; one, weighing 92 grains, tested at 99.7% copper in Alan Meghrig's analysis. It is struck in copper with a plain edge. It is also catalogued as Adams-Woodin 1205. Cataloged as PCGS #61302.
