Description
1868 Two Cent, PR66 Red
Original Red Surfaces
1868 2C PR66 Red NGC. The Mint reportedly struck 600 or so
two cent proofs in 1868. Breen wrote in 1988: "Proofs have serif of
D restored by hand to working rev.; ornament below WE weak."
Blushes of rose-violet accent the copper-orange surfaces of this
Premium Gem proof. Each side is seemingly pristine, and the devices
are predictably pinpoint-sharp, save for the previously mentioned
softness on the ornament. Minimal carbon appears on the reverse.
