1871 Two Cent, PR66+ Red and Brown
Rare Proof Die Variety

1871 2C PR66+ Red and Brown NGC. For years, numismatists (and numismatic catalogers) have believed that all proof 1871 two cent pieces were FS-102, with strong die doubling on TRUST. But the present lot is from a different obverse die, without prominent doubling. The date location also slightly differs. There is no doubt that the present coin is a proof, as it has reflective fields and radiant motifs that exhibit moderate (but undesignated) cameo contrast. The strike is bold and the preservation is exemplary.(Registry values: N1793)
