Description

1869 2C PR66 Red PCGS. CAC. Ex: Simpson. A minority of the 1869 proof two cent piece survivorship is in the Red color category. The Simpson Premium Gem is among the finest collectible examples in Red condition, as only a single coin is rated finer at either service. PCGS does list a single Red Cameo example, but it grades only PR64 on the numeric scale. This piece is one of just two PR66 Red examples with CAC endorsement. The strike is sharp, and the reflective surfaces yield original copper-orange, gold, and rose-lilac hues. A few trivial flecks do not detract. Population: 20 in 66 (1 in 66+) Red, 1 finer. CAC: 2 in 66, 0 finer (1/21).(Registry values: N2998)

Coin Index Numbers: (NGC ID# 274Y, PCGS# 3641, Greysheet# 2739)

Weight: 6.22 grams

Metal: 95% Copper, 5% Tin & zinc
