1867 Two Cent, MS66 Red
Among the Finest Extant

1867 2C MS66 Red PCGS. The 1867 two cent is an available issue with healthy mintage that approaches 3 million coins. Both grading services show hundreds of Mint State examples in the Brown and Red and Brown color categories, typically between the grades of MS63 and MS64. This, however is one of the few fully Red survivors above Gem condition. In fact, it ranks among the top seven submissions at PCGS, two of which have added Plus designations. None are finer at that service (6/21).

Copper-orange color dominates, yielding only occasionally to faint reddish-violet and tan accents. Detail is strongest at the centers, though the olive leaves are well-defined. What stands out is the excellent color and exceptional preservation. Certainly one of the finest 1867 two cent pieces extant.(Registry values: N2998)
