1869 Two Cent, MS66 Red
Rare This Fine, One Coin Higher

1869 2C MS66 Red PCGS. Save for a few splashes of reddish-violet toning around IN GOD WE, this Premium Gem two cent displays effusive copper-orange color. Vibrant frost heightens the eye appeal. The olive leaves, shield lines, and wreath exhibit strong definition. Spindly cracks appear on each side. Two minuscule specks of aqua residue are noted on the obverse. We last handled an 1869 two cent of comparable quality all the way back in January 2016, attesting to the issue's rarity at this impressive grade level. Population: 5 in 66 (2 in 66+) Red, 1 finer (7/19).(Registry values: N2998)

Coin Index Numbers: (NGC ID# 5NAM, PCGS# 3605, Greysheet# 2697)
