Lot Description

1866 Two-Cent Piece. Proof-66 BN (PCGS). A richly original Gem bathed in mottled olive-copper patina. Direct lighting calls forth undertones of orange, lilac and rose-gray, the revere in particular with some claim to an RB color designation. The 1866 is the third Proof in the two-cent series, the mintage not recorded by Mint personnel but likely on the order of 800 to 1,200 pieces. This is an exceptionally well preserved, virtually pristine specimen that is worthy of a premium bid. PCGS# 3630. NGC ID: 274V. PCGS Population: 7; 0 finer in this category.
