1871 Two Cent, PR66 Red
Vibrant Color, Full Strike
Ex: Gene Gardner

1871 2C PR66 Red PCGS. CAC. Peach-red dominates this fully struck Premium Gem, although the obverse border displays brighter olive-gold hues. Evaluation beneath a lens reveals only a couple of pinpoint flecks. As always seen on 1871 proofs, the obverse is die doubled, strongest on TRUST. This issue is rare in PR66 Red and nearly unknown finer. Population: 21 in 66 (3 in 66+) Red, 0 finer. CAC: 10 in 66, 0 finer (7/18).
