- 1942 Experimental Cent. Judd-2060, Pollock-Unlisted, RB 42-58 Third Reverse. Rarity-7-. Injection Molded Cellulose Acetate (Tenite I), Brown. Plain Edge. Specimen-65 (PCGS).
18.6 mm, 1.9 mm thick. 7.9 grains. Obv:Bust of Columbia faces right, the portrait borrowed from the Colombian 2 centavo coin. The periphery is inscribed LIBERTY / JUSTICE with the date 1942 below. Rev:A simple wreath surrounds the inscription UNITED / STATES / MINT, the wreath copied from the Baker-155 Washington medalet. Gorgeous golden-brown surfaces exhibit a sandblast finish. All design elements are sharply rendered, both sides free of post-production blemishes. Examples of this experimental type were made by Tennessee East Corp., which forwarded 50 samples to the United States Mint, and at least 12 were provided to the National Bureau of Standards. Free of test marks, the present example was almost certainly not among those sent to NBS. It is one of the most exceptional pieces made during these experiments that we have ever offered, irrespective of composition.
Provenance: From the Bob Heisley Collection. Purchased privately from Bowers and Merena Galleries, late 1990s.
