Proof Two Cent Pieces
1870 2C PR65 Red PCGS Secure. CAC. Most Red proof 1870 two cent pieces are clustered in the PR64 and PR65 grades, with finer coins rare. This CAC-approved example is in a minority. The strike is full, and both sides display bright, glimmering gold surfaces with orange highlights. Modest cameo contrast is seen on the obverse. Population: 42 in 65 (2 in 65+) Red, 15 finer. CAC: 7 in 65, 6 finer (9/17).
