<B>1865 2C Two Cents, Judd-407, Pollock-477, High R.7, PR63 PCGS.</B></I> Experimental trial piece struck from the dies from the 1865 two cent piece. Struck in copper with streaks of silver with a plain edge. These odd die trials were allegedly struck from native Michigan ore that contained both copper and silver. The surfaces of these pieces are quite unusual, as one can tell from the photos on the USPatterns.com website or from examining this piece. A significant amount of silver is seen on the reverse of this die trial. Apparently the native alloy used for these pieces contained a number of imperfections as each side shows extensive cracks and laminations. About a dozen pieces are known. Iridescent red, brown, and blue on the obverse, the reverse is silver-blue in color.<BR><BR><b>Shipping:</b> Coins & Currency (<a target="_blank" href="http://www.heritageauctions.com/common/shipping.php">view shipping information</a>)
