Description

1868 Two Cent, PR66+ Red Cameo
Rarely Encountered With Contrast

1868 2C PR66+ Red Cameo PCGS. CAC. The reported mintage for the 1868 two cent is an estimated 600+ proofs. Unfortunately, records regarding minor proof coinage were not kept until 1878, years after the two cent denomination had been abolished. We do know that survivors are scarcely seen with Red surfaces, and those designated as Cameo are rare with only 11 total submissions in that category at PCGS. This Plus-graded Red Cameo with CAC endorsement ranks among the finest examples at PCGS. PCGS Population: 3 in 66+ Cameo, 1 finer. CAC: 4 in 66, 1 finer (12/25).(Registry values: P2)
