Description
1870 Two Cent, PR66 Red
Rare This Well-Preserved
1870 2C PR66 Red PCGS. CAC. The 1870 has the highest mintage
of all proof two cent issues (in excess of 1,000 pieces), though in
high grades with full Red color it is remarkably rare. PCGS has
certified only 11 full Red Premium Gems, with just a single finer
example (4/14). This well-mirrored piece displays warm bronze-gold
color overall, with cherry-red central hues and faint lilac accents
in the margins. The strike is essentially sharp, though some minor
softness appears on a couple of the left obverse wreath
leaves.(Registry values: N2998)Coin Index Numbers: (NGC ID# 274Z, PCGS# 3644, GSID# 2744)
