Description du lot

1871 Two-Cent Piece. MS-65 RD (PCGS). OGH. A satiny and vivid coin that offers full pinkish-orange mint color. The penultimate circulation strike in the two-cent series, the 1871 is one of the scarcer issues of its type with a 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. Provenance: From the Larry H. Miller Collection. PCGS Population: 19; 10 finer in this category (MS-66+ RD finest). PCGS# 3611. NGC ID: 22NF. Click here for certification details from PCGS.
