This is a fantasy piece made by using the regular 1870 two cent reverse die combined with the Standard silver quarter reverse used on J888-J893/P987-P993 and others. I believe the two cent reverse has the missing serif in the "D" in "United" which is believed to be a die used to create restrikes of various 2 cent pieces in the 1870s.
It was struck on a combined silver and copper planchet said to be native Michigan ore in Judd. The silver appears as streaks in the primarily copper planchet. These planchets were used almost entirely on 2 cent patterns which is probably why it is listed as a 2 cent piece as opposed to a quarter.
There is only one known ex Johnson (Nov 1898), Hall, Brand (journal #49986:113), Olsen, Farouk, Kreisberg-Schulman 2/60, Kreisbreg 9/60, Federal Brand 10/61 & 1/62, J.E. Drew, Simpson-Heritage 1/21 - PCGS61 and it is illustrated above.
The pedigree is as noted from the Dr Hall collection notebook on the Newman Numismatic Portal and is shown below.
