Lot Description

1865 Two-Cent Piece. Fancy 5. MS-65 RD (PCGS). OGH. Handsome deep rose mint color mingles with frosty luster on both sides of this Gem Mint State two-cent piece. The upper right obverse border exhibits an interesting retained cud break (as made) through the final letter T in TRUST, the right arrow head, and the right ribbon end. Mint State examples of the 1865 two-cent piece are popular for type purposes, and attractive coins are available in grades up to and including MS-65 Red and Brown. Full Red examples are also obtainable, but they are scarce to rare beginning at the MS-65 RD level. Among our finer offerings for the issue in recent years, the premium Gem Larry H. Miller specimen would make an impressive addition to another advanced cabinet. Provenance: From the Larry H. Miller Collection. PCGS# 3584. NGC ID: 22NA.
