Proof Two Cent Pieces
1870 2C PR66 Red PCGS. CAC. The 1870 has the highest mintage of all proof two cent issues (in excess of 1,000 pieces), though in high grades with full Red color it is remarkably rare. This well-mirrored piece displays warm bronze-gold color overall, with cherry-red central hues and faint lilac accents in the margins. The strike is essentially sharp, though some minor softness appears on a couple of the left obverse wreath leaves. Population: 14 in 66 (2 in 66+) Red, 1 finer. CAC: 5 in 66, 0 finer (6/17).
