Description

The No Date Cent Pattern - P-4060, Private Issue is a cent-size piece from General Motors' roller-press trials. General Motors Technical Center in Warren, Michigan struck the pieces to test a new coin press, using dies made at the Mint from fantasy designs since the Mint would not lend its production dies (USPatterns.com). They are struck in copper and carry control numbers with the codes L, M or R, which suggests the dies were mounted in rows of three; the press apparently fell short of expectations. NGC lists it as c.1967 P-4060 1C, and PCGS as (1960s) 1C P-4060 Private Issue (PCGS #148704).
