1942 1C "One Cent" Pattern, Judd-2054, Pollock-2074, High R.7, MS64 NGC. Description and Pictures forthcoming.
Possibly ex: Kagin's 1977 ANA sale.
1942 1C "One Cent" Pattern, Judd-2054, Pollock-2074, High R.7, MS63 NGC. The obverse depicts a bust right of Liberty, based on the KM-198 Colombian two centavos. The reverse features a wreath and a central legend. Struck in zinc-coated steel. The dies were engraved by John R. Sinnock, and used both inside and outside the Mint. The bronze, zinc-coated steel, manganese, and aluminum pieces were apparently struck at the Mint in the second half of 1942. All other pieces, in various plastic and related compositions were struck privately outside the Mint.
Essentially the same composition that was finally chosen for 1943 Lincoln cent production, this piece has deep gray surfaces with a few tiny spots and some barely detectable corrosion. (#62401)

1942 1C One Cent, Judd-2054, Pollock-2074, High R.7, MS61 NGC. Designs as described in the next lot. Heritage's Description:
Struck in zinc-coated steel with a plain edge. This alloy was, of course, the "winner" of the various compositions tested in 1942 for the issued 1943-dated cents. Countless tons of copper were thus saved for the war effort, but consumer confusion between silver dimes and "white" cents led to a 1944 return of the predominantly copper alloy. The present cream-gray piece is satiny and sharply struck. The obverse has a few lengthy hair-thin marks, perhaps made by a curious finder. From The Kiev Collection. (#62401)

1942 1C "One Cent" Pattern, Judd-2054, Pollock-2074, High R.7, PR60 PCGS. On the obverse Liberty faces right--a design based on the Colombian two centavo coins--with LIBERTY at the left rim, JUSTICE at the right. The reverse features an olive wreath with berries and UNITED STATES MINT in the center. Struck in zinc-coated steel, one of the types apparently struck within the Mint in 1942. This piece, while strictly Mint State, has heavy diagonal gray toning striations on both sides. Population: 1 in 60, 1 finer (11/08). (#62401)

1942 P1C "One Cent" Pattern, Judd-2060, Pollock-4035, Low R.7, MS66 NGC. The obverse resembles the KM-198 Colombia two centavos, and the simple reverse has merely a wreath and the legend UNITED/STATES/MINT. Privately struck in brown plastic with a plain edge from dies provided by the U.S. Mint. The lustrous surfaces are chocolate-brown and strictly as made, without any indication of marks or spots.

1942 P1C Cent, Judd-2060, Pollock-4037, Low R.7, PR65 PCGS. Cent-diameter dies were formed using two available motifs, a Liberty right portrait and a wreath, both similar in layout to the Lincoln Wheat cent. An urgent World War II need for copper compelled the U.S. Mint to find a substitute alloy for the cent. Pieces were struck in various compositions, mostly with poor results. The present piece is struck in brown plastic with a plain edge. This medal turn pattern has glossy and smooth chocolate-brown surfaces. Vertical lines on the central reverse are as made, perhaps formed as the piece cooled to room temperature after striking. (#62401)

1942 J-2060 NGC= MS-62 (purchased at Heritage 2010 FUN signature sale 1/9/2010 for $1840.00
1942 1C Cent, Judd-2060, Pollock-4035, Low R.7, MS62 NGC. The obverse resembles the KM-198 Colombia two centavos. The reverse revives the wreath motif from the Baker-155 Washington medalet and adds the legend UNITED/STATES/MINT. Struck in brown plastic with a plain edge. Judd-2060 was privately struck from mint dies in 1942. The intent was to provide a suitable substitute for the bronze cent, which used copper needed for the war effort. The Treasury eventually turned to a zinc-plated steel composition for the 1943 cent. An unabraded chocolate-brown example with satin luster and granular surfaces. Each side has a slender diagonal flan flaw near 9 o'clock, as made. From The Kiev Collection. (#62401)

1942 J-2062 NGC MS-64 Heritage 2009 FUN signature sale January 2009 $2,760.00
1942 1C Cent, Judd-2062, Pollock-4045, Low R.7, MS64 NGC. Copper was required by American forces during World War II, and the Treasury considered striking cents in plastic, glass, rubber, bakelite, fiber, and other non-essential materials. This led to Judd-2051 through Judd-2069, a series of pattern cents in exotic compositions. Dies similar in design to the Lincoln cent but bearing different types (a woman's bust and a wreath) were delivered to private contractors. Struck in red plastic with a plain edge from widely rotated dies. This is a dark brown near-Gem that boasts an exemplary strike and lustrous, seamless surfaces. (#62401)
