Republic Essai 2 Centavos 1863-(A), Paris mint, KME2, PR65 Red and Brown NGC. A Gem Proof specimen of this very scarce Essai, with beautiful surfaces and much less handling marks than usually seen. A companion piece to the previous lots, with a bit more brownish toning. Truly a premium example of this popular type. Ex: George Follis (Ira & Larry Goldberg 6/2013, lot 5053 for $2,200).
Estimate: 2000-2500 USD
