<strong>Obv:</strong> Bust of Washington facing right with the motto GOD AND OUR COUNTRY above, flanked by two stars, and the date 1863 below. <strong>Rev:</strong> Similar to that adopted in 1864 for the regular issue two-cent piece, but with CENTS more curved at the center. Attractive light copper-gold throughout with a few minor specks and a bold wire rim along the upper obverse. Ever popular for the obverse design with the bust of Washington, this is a desirable example of what is truly a rare issue. This particular pattern is much more challenging to obtain than the more commonly seen Judd-305 type. Furthermore, this is one of the finer examples seen.,PCGS# 60465. NGC ID: 29EN.,PCGS Population: 4; with a single Proof-65 finer in this category.,From the Eagle Hill Collection. Earlier ex our sale of the Linnemann Family Collection, June 2013, lot 2304.
