Description
1872 Two Cent, MS66 Red and Brown
Tied for Finest at Both Services
1872 2C MS66 Red and Brown PCGS. This is the singular
circulation-strike key date in the short-lived two cent series. The
Mint limited production to a mere 65,000 pieces, and PCGS reports
775 grading events across all grades and color categories. The vast
majority of survivors are reported in grades ranging from Very Good
to About Uncirculated. All Mint State coins are scarce. This
Premium Gem is one of the finest examples any collector could hope
to locate.Fiery-orange color melds with deeper shades of steel-blue and magenta. Hints of semiprooflikeness are apparent in the fields, and the strike is pinpoint-sharp. The reverse shows some interesting die cracks toward the lower border. Population: 4 in 66 Red and Brown, 0 finer (2/19).(Registry values: N2998)
