Description
1866 Two Cent Piece, MS66 Red
Unmellowed Surfaces
1866 2C MS66 Red PCGS. The first two years of the two cent
piece saw hefty mintages (nearly 20 million in 1864 and more than
13 million in 1865), largely resulting from the Civil War coin
shortage. After the war, fewer banks called for this denomination
and mintages began to dwindle. Slightly more than 3 million pieces
were coined in 1866.The present lustrous peach-gold Premium Gem exhibits sharply struck design motifs and is devoid of mentionable marks. The determined observer aided by a strong loupe will finally detect the infrequent tiny carbon fleck. An exemplary coin overall. Housed in a green label holder. Population: 7 in 66 Red, 0 finer (11/10).
