1872 Two Cent Piece, PR66 Red and Brown
Conditionally Scarce, Rare Finer

1872 2C PR66 Red and Brown NGC. CAC. The year 1872 saw the end of the business strike two cent piece, yet the proof coinage for that year, as in the low-mintage years of 1870 and 1871, was near the series peak. This well-preserved specimen, which boasts considerable copper-orange in addition to blue-brown, is solidly defined and immensely appealing. Just five coins have been rated even finer, with the Red and Brown color designation, at NGC (2/14).
