Description
1872 Two Cent, PR65 Red and Brown
Low Total-Mintage Issue
1872 2C PR65 Red and Brown PCGS. CAC. A generous amount of
fiery red color graces each side of this marvelous Gem proof,
intermixed with hues of amber-gold, violet, and lavender. Close
inspection reveals a few small ticks adjacent to the lower-left
olive leaves, and between the fourth and fifth verticals in the
shield. The reverse is comparatively clean. Fully defined with
moderate reflectivity and fantastic visual appeal. Housed in a
green label holder.Population Data (8/15): There are only 23 Red and Brown examples higher at PCGS.
Heritage Commentary: The 1872 proof two cent issue claims one of the more plentiful mintages in the series with a reported production of 950 pieces. However, the small circulation-strike total of 65,000 coins places added pressure on proofs, as high-grade circulation strikes are difficult to come by.
