1863 Pattern Washington Two-Cent Piece. Judd-310, Pollock-375. Rarity-7-. Copper-Nickel. Plain Edge. Proof-64 (PCGS). Obv: bust of Washington facing right, motto GOD AND OUR COUNTRY above, flanked by two stars with date 1863 below. Rev: 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 on the upper obverse. Ever popular for the obverse design with the bust of Washington, and a desirable example of this rare issue. This particular pattern is much harder to obtain than the more commonly seen Judd-305 issue. Furthermore, this is one of the finer examples seen and tied with a select group of four from PCGS, with a single example seen finer out of perhaps nine to twelve known in all.
