Lot Description

Beautiful Red Gem 1865 Two-Cent Piece 1865 Two-Cent Piece. Fancy 5. MS-66+ RD (PCGS). CAC. Frosty surfaces are enhanced by vivid pink and pale orange on both sides of this beautiful Gem. The strike is universally full with razor sharp detail to even the most intricate design elements. Silky smooth and with eye appeal to spare. Mint State examples of the 1865 two-cent piece are popular for type purposes, and collectors experience little difficulty acquiring an attractive coin in grades up to and including MS-65 Red and Brown. Full Red examples are also obtainable but they are scarce to rare in grades above MS-65 RD. Among the finest that we have ever offered for this issue, the premium Gem Pogue example would make an impressive addition to another advanced cabinet. Estimate: $1,000 - $1,500.
