Amazing 1868 Proof Two-Cent Piece

1868 PR 67 Red PCGS. Deeply reflective fields and showing none of the typical carbon spotting on either side. The color is undiminished by the passage of time, retaining complete reddish-orange tinting with a hint of mint-green and crimson color as the coin is turned under a light. A superb example that far surpasses the typical, lackluster proof two-cent piece, and one of the finest this cataloger has seen. This is the finest example thus far certified by PCGS (5/96), and one of only two PR 67s for the entire series.
