Lot Description

1870 Two-Cent Piece. Proof-65+ RD (PCGS). CAC. Secure Holder. A second premium quality Gem from the Platinum Star Collection, this proof 1870 is fully struck with overall smooth-looking surfaces. The color is attractive and original in a blend of olive-orange and rose-orange shades. Almost certainly a Proof-66 RD were it not for a single trivial contact mark over the right-reverse wreath.
