1974 Proof Cent Pattern - J-2152
Strike TypeCoin Details
Description
The 1974 Proof Cent Pattern - J-2152 is the 1974 Lincoln cent trial in bronze-clad steel. While testing replacements for the bronze cent, the Mint struck trial pieces in bronze-clad steel as well as aluminum (USPatterns.com, Wikipedia). USPatterns.com believes several of the 1974 trial cents are in collectors' hands but not legal to own; none of the sources read describes this piece's finish, and the PCGS number is shared in form with the business-strike J-2151 (PCGS #12220).
