Lot Description

1866 Two-Cent Piece. MS-65+ RD (PCGS). This is a satiny pale rose and autumn-orange Gem with bold striking detail and impressively smooth surfaces. 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 issue, and worthy of the strongest bids. Provenance: From the Silver Springs Collection. PCGS Population: 8; 18 finer in this category (MS-66+ RD finest). PCGS# 3590. NGC ID: 274R. Click here for certification details from PCGS.
