Description
The 1982 Cent Pattern - J-2180, Martha Washington is a cent-size trial struck from the Mint's Martha Washington test dies on a copper-plated zinc planchet. The design is Edward R. Grove's obverse and Philip Fowler's reverse from 1965, which became the Mint's all-purpose test dies. USPatterns.com thinks this piece probably came from one of the outside vendors who were given the dies, possibly to test the copper-plated zinc planchets that Jarden Zinc Products made from 1982, and numbers it P-4100. Over a dozen are now confirmed, and at least two mint errors on dime planchets are known (USPatterns.com). NGC lists it as 1759(1982) J-2180 1C.
