Charming Near-Gem Red 1870 Two Cent

1870 2C MS64 Red NGC. By 1870 the mintage of the two cent business strikes had sunk below 1 million--to be exact, 861,250 coins--and would never again return to seven digits. This charming near-Gem offers almond-tan coloration with lots of eye appeal, despite the small patches of charcoal in the shield. A couple of small abrasions account for the grade. Census: 11 in 64 Red, 8 finer (4/10).(Registry values: N1793)

Coin Index Numbers: (NGC ID# 5NAR, PCGS# 3608, Greysheet# 2700)

Weight: 6.22 grams

Metal: 95% Copper, 5% Tin & zinc
