1868 Two Cent, PR67 Red Cameo
Sole Finest Certified, CAC

1868 2C PR67 Red Cameo PCGS. CAC. Ex: Simpson. 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 downright rare with only 12 total submissions in that category at PCGS. Of those, this is the sole finest (11/20).

Both sides are largely copper-orange with pale accents of magenta and mint-green color that heighten the appeal of this Superb Gem considerably. The fields flash noticeably when rotated, contrasting against the frosted motifs. Another outstanding offering from the Bob R. Simpson Collection.(Registry values: P2)
