Description
1865 Two Cent, MS66+ Red
Radiant Pumpkin-Gold Surfaces
1865 2C Plain 5 MS66+ Red PCGS. The two cent denomination
was introduced in 1864, when 19.8 million pieces were struck.
Mintages declined for eight consecutive years before the series was
abandoned in 1873. The 1865 is the second date in the set with the
second-highest mintage (13.6 million coins). Examples survive
through MS66 Red but are nearly unseen finer. (We last offered an
MS67 Red coin in 2005). This radiant pumpkin-gold would be
exceedingly difficult to upgrade, with needle-sharp detail on the
shield, leaves, and wreath, and minimal carbon spotting. Clash
marks and die cracks on noted on each side. Population: 49 in 66 (2
in 66+) Red, 1 finer (8/16).Coin Index Numbers: (Variety PCGS# 38249, Base PCGS# 3584, Greysheet# 213355)
Weight: 6.22 grams
Metal: 95% Copper, 5% Tin & zinc
