Comment
Struck on thick planchet.Interesting fact
The Pattern 2 Cents (Pattern) 1862 from Liberia made of Copper is a rare and unique coin that was never officially released into circulation. It was created as a pattern coin, meaning it was produced as a prototype or sample for a potential coin design, but it was ultimately rejected or not adopted for use. As a result, only a limited number of these coins were minted, making them highly sought after by collectors.
