1869 Two Cent, MS67 Red
Condition Census Registry Coin

1869 2C MS67 Red PCGS. Ex: Simpson. Contemporary numismatic interest in the two cent series was limited. Most of the Mint State coins of every issue that were set aside by collectors have toned to various degrees of brown and chestnut color over the past one and a half centuries, and it is difficult to find just about any date in the series today in Gem Red or better condition. Two cent pieces as a whole are scarce in MS66 regardless of color designation.

The 1869 is no exception to these rules. PCGS has certified only 21 pieces in MS66 or better across all three color designations, including just six coins that are awarded Red classification. Of these, the Simpson piece is surpassed only by a lone MS67 Red specimen at PCGS. It is beautifully struck and satiny with natural copper-red surfaces. The exceptional preservation of the surfaces leaves almost no hints of spotting to serve as pedigree markers. Eye appeal is outstanding. Population: 2 in 67 Red, 0 finer (8/20).(Registry values: N1)
