1871 2C, RB PR (PCGS#3646)

Spring 2026 Showcase Auction U.S. Coins

Description du lot: Deep, vivid, mint orange color shines powerfully through an even overlay of iridescent olive-brown and warmer pinkish-rose toning. Ideal color blending for the RB designation combines with a full strike and expertly preserved surfaces to establish this as one of the finest Proof 1871 two-cent pieces currently available. The 1871 is conditionally challenging and can be difficult to obtain any finer than Proof-64 RB. Indeed, the typical example that passes through our hands is a moderately to extensively toned Red and Brown with at least a few distracting carbon flecks or other blemishes. The present example is an upper end Gem with abundant eye appeal that is sure to catch the eye of quality-conscious collectors.
