Two Cent Pieces
1872 2C Doubled Die Obverse, FS-101, MS65 Red and Brown NGC. The Cherrypickers' reference comments: "... this doubled die is scarce in relation to the total 1872 population." Doubling is most easily seen on IN GOD WE TRUST. The 1872 two cent piece overall is scarce in Gem condition, and this Red and Brown example displays lovely violet and copper-orange hues. The strike is weak on the wreath bowknot but well-executed elsewhere. No finer Red and Brown coins have been certified by the grading services (2/17).
