This specimen was lot 72441 in Stack's Bowers Collectors Choice sale (Santa Ana, CA, October 2020), where it sold for $168. The catalog description[1] noted, "NETHERLANDS EAST INDIES. Sumatra. 2 Cents, 1839-J. PCGS AU-55 Gold Shield. A well detailed coin with dark brown patina. Some thinning of the planchet has kept the lower portion from being struck up properly." The Dutch did not issue unified decimal coinage for their colonies in the Indies until the 1850's. Prior to that, each island received its own coinage. Sumatra received one and two cent pieces struck 1833-41 in large numbers. This is a common date.
Recorded mintage: 90,964,000 including 1839-W.
Specifications: 6.18 g, copper, 26 mm diameter.
Catalog reference: KM-291.
