Description
1869 FS-301 Two Cent, MS66 Red
Tied for Finest Certified, Color Rarity
1869 2C Repunched and Misplaced Date, FS-301, MS66 Red NGC.
The tops of 18 are repunched, an errant 1 protrudes from the
dentils below the primary 1, and a die scratch occurs under the 6.
This Cherrypicker's Guide variety should command a
significant premium as the likely finest-known example of FS-301,
and more broadly, one of the best-preserved 1869 two cent coins at
both services. Lustrous copper-orange surfaces show occasional rose
accents and myriad die polish lines in the fields. Fully struck and
clearly high-end for the grade. Encapsulated in a former
generation, pre-barcode holder. Census: 2 in 66 Red, 0 finer
(8/16).Coin Index Numbers: (NGC ID# 22ND, Variety PCGS# 38279, Base PCGS# 3605, Greysheet# 285497)
Metal: 95% Copper, 5% Tin & zinc
