<B>1863 2C Two Cents, Judd-316, Pollock-381, R.6, PR66 Red and Brown PCGS.</B></I> The design on both sides is the same as that adopted for business strike production in 1864. Struck in bronze or copper with a plain edge. Interesting background information is provided on the USPatterns.com website for this issue: "From its appearance you would think that it is a transitional pattern similar to the 1882 Liberty Nickel J1690-J1692/P1892-P1894 but this has the reverse with the missing serif on the 'D' in 'United' and is struck from a large motto obverse hub. This is actually a novodel (backdated fantasy) produced circa 1869 through the early 1870s. It does not appear in any pre-1870 auction catalog to my knowledge." The surfaces are almost completely red with the exception of a streak of lilac on the reverse. Fully struck throughout. The fields are striated (mostly the obverse) and enhance the reflectivity in the fields.<BR><BR><b>Shipping:</b> Coins & Currency (<a target="_blank" href="http://www.heritageauctions.com/common/shipping.php">view shipping information</a>)
