Lot Description

1872 Two-Cent Piece. FS-101. Doubled Die Obverse. MS-65 BN (PCGS). CAC. Golden-brown overall with blushes of blue and rose. Traces of faded mint red can be seen on the reverse. The 1872 has the lowest circulation-strike mintage of any date in the series, just 65,000 pieces. Gem-quality examples (both normal and Doubled Die varieties considered together) are very scarce. This example displays a soft strike over both the obverse and reverse. Still, a colorful, attractive example of this condition rarity. PCGS# 38292. NGC ID: 22NG.
