PC-2 pattern from 1857. NGC SP-65 Brown. About six known. In comparing the photos to the plates in the auction catalogue, I am pretty sure this was the A. R. Prince coin sold by Jim Charlton in the 1965 CNA Auction. It did not surface publicly again until a couple of months ago.

bosox, interesting and very nice to own... Do you think the Obverse surface of this coin was defaced intentionally ?

In my book, Past & Nearly Perfect, I described how these were struck on the blank back of the uniface PC-1 patterns. The second striking flattened the PC-1 design. Only the denticles show up in photos, but tilting the coin in good light you can see elements of the PC-1 design remaining.

Congrats! Great historic item, but I'm kinda glad it wasn't the design chosen. "Dipping" is not considered cleaning...

I think in the end they judged all that filigree work too busy and too fragile. Plus, the diameter was too close to the 20 cent.

OH! I didn't know, so this coin is - not a regular circulation issue coin-.... The presence of denticles on the rim made me think something was wrong. bosox Thank you for providing this fascinating information to us. |

The book is still available from the RCNA website. It has a pretty in-depth discussion about these. All book proceeds go to the RCNA. http://www.victoriancent.com2011 & 2025 Fred Bowman Literary Award Winner, 2020 J. Douglas Ferguson Award Winner, & 2022 Paul Fiocca Award Winner.
