The August 2010 Boston Rarities Sale

Losbeschreibung: 1871 Two-Cent Piece. Proof-66 RD Cameo (PCGS). CAC. Secure Holder. Conditionally rare as a premium-quality, full Red Gem, this 1871 also has the distinction of having the only Cameo designation that PCGS has yet to award to a proof Two-Cent piece of this date. Indeed, the finish is boldly contrasted between satiny, fully impressed devices and glassy, well-mirrored fields. A tinge of pale-pink iridescence enhances otherwise autumn-orange surfaces, the color original and highly attractive. If any proof 1871 Two-Cent piece has a chance of establishing a new auction record for the issue, this stunning Cameo-finish Gem is it.
