Description
1872 Two Cent Piece, PR67 Red and Brown
Essentially Perfect Surfaces, Much Red Remains
1872 2C PR67 Red and Brown NGC. The production of
circulation-strike two cent pieces was winding down in 1872, but
proofs were made in larger numbers for the collector trade. Still,
only 950 proofs were struck and high-grade survivors are very
scarce today. Red and Brown is accurate, but there is a significant
presence of original mint luster on each side. The surfaces are
pristine; the only pedigree identifier we see is a small,
irregularly shaped speck of grease that was struck into the upper
shield lines. Census: 5 in 67 (1 in 67 ★ ) Red and Brown, 0
finer (10/13).Ex: Eric P. Newman Numismatic Education Society.(Registry values: N4719)
Coin Index Numbers: (NGC ID# 2752, PCGS# 3649, Greysheet# 2753)
Weight: 6.22 grams

Truth Seeker: The Life of Eric P. Newman (softcover)
A powerful and intimidating dealer of the 1960s, backed by important colleagues, was accused of selling fraudulent gold coins and ingots to unsuspecting numismatists. Who would go up against a man like that and, over the course of decades, prove the fraud? Who would expose a widely respected scholar as a thief, then doggedly pursue recovery of coins that the scholar had stolen from an embarrassed numismatic organization, all over the objections of influential collectors who had bought coins with clouded titles? Eric P. Newman would - and did. Reserve your copy today.
