Lot Description

FROM THE SEATTLE COLLECTION Sharply struck and boldly lustrous with flaming mint red color, this early GEM 2 cent piece has a great eye appeal. The devices are razor sharp on both sides, the obverse has a touch of reflection in the luster, especially in the central shield devices. Some light, iridescent toning and some very minor flecks are seen when viewed closely with a light and a glass. PCGS 208, NGC 91. PCGS has graded just three MS65 RD examples with the Plain 5 designation. The last Plain 5 in PCGS MS65 RD sold in June 2015 for $1,293. The current PCGS Price Guide value is listed at $1,750. The eye appeal is excellent and we think this one will go very nicely in any set of RD 2 cent pieces. Cert. Number 38682870 PCGS # 38249.00
