1864 Restrike, Copper Pattern Cent PR RB J-357
Details
1864 Cent. Struck from regular dies with L on ribbon. Obverse die varieties exist.
Like the similar 1863-L pieces, this obverse is a novodel made circa 1869 to the early 1870s and was combined with a reverse die used for striking circa 1868-1871 proofs per Dave Bowers and Richard Snow.
These latter pieces are related to the 1864 two cent, trime, half dime and dime novodels and were probably made for inclusion in sets with the quarter, half dollar and dollar with 'In God We Trust' on the reverse as used from 1866-1891.
