.42 grams. This highly lustrous golden brown <em>plastic </em>one cent pattern represents a rare issue that seldom appears in the numismatic marketplace. The obverse features a cowled head of Liberty to right similar in appearance to a Colombian two-centavos coin of the era with LIBERTY behind the figures head and JUSTICE before her face. The reverse features a wreath with UNITED / STATES / MINT on three lines within. What appears to be the figure 12 is engraved into the field behind Libertys portrait and the letter G is seen in the field in front of her face. The dies are known in the Pollock reference as the "John R. Sinnock Fantasy Dies." We expect more than one pattern specialist will have an eye out for this rarity when it crosses the auction block.,PCGS# 12215. NGC ID: 228Y.,,
