Description du lot

1867 Two-Cent Piece. FS-101 (FS-003). Doubled Die Obverse. MS-65 RB (PCGS). Secure Holder. Lightly speckled, glossy-brown patina allows ready appreciation of underlying golden-orange luster. Sharply struck throughout, with nary a detracting blemish to report. Look to the lettering in the motto IN GOD WE TRUST on the obverse to identify this, the strongest Doubled Die variety in the Two-Cent series of 1864-1873. The 1867 FS-101 is fairly easy to obtain in lower circulated grades, but it is very scarce in EF and AU and rare-to-very rare in Mint State.
