Incredible Gem Red 1871 Two-Cent Piece 1871 Two-Cent Piece. MS-66 RD (PCGS). A radiant Gem displaying terra-cotta and brick-red hues. The surfaces are intensely lustrous, with a satiny complexion to the fields and a more frosty luster across the design elements. Sharply struck and free from notable imperfections. The penultimate circulation strike in the two-cent series, the 1871 is one of the scarcer issues of its type with a relatively limited mintage of 721,250 pieces. It can be readily found in lower Mint State grades, but is a considerable rarity with original Red surfaces. Gem Red examples, like the present piece, are truly significant finds. This example is tied with only five others as the very finest certified by PCGS in this color designation. It is an important opportunity for advanced collectors and Registry Setparticipants. PCGS Population: 6; none finer. PCGS# 3611. NGC ID: 22NF. Click here for certification details from PCGS.
