Lot Description

1866 Two-Cent Piece. MS-65 RD (PCGS). CAC. OGH. Fully struck with bountiful rose-orange mint color, this handsome coin is also lustrous and frosty. A much rarer issue in all grades than the 1864 Large Motto and 1865, the 1866 can be a challenging two-cent piece to locate even at the lower reaches of Mint State. Premium-quality Gems are rare, especially if they also feature full Red color. Superior quality and eye appeal for the assigned grade, and worthy of the strongest bids. Provenance: From the Larry H. Miller Collection. PCGS# 3590. NGC ID: 274R. Click here for certification details from PCGS.
