- 1868 Two-Cent Piece. MS-65 RD (PCGS). A radiant and fiery red-orange Gem with plashes of steel bleu scattered throughout. The fields are intensely satiny and subtly contrast the more frosty design elements. Sharply struck and essentially free from friction. The short-lived two-cents series ran from 1864 through 1873, with the last year a Proof-only issue. There are no real rarities in the series, and Gem specimens of all dates are available to those with patience and an eye for quality. However, even high grade example have typically lost their original Red coloration, and finding one with full mint color can be a considerable challenge. This Red example ranks among the finest pieces known from this issue, with 19 certified at the current grade by PCGS and only 6 graded finer at MS-66 RD. PCGS Population: 19; just 6 finer. PCGS# 3599. NGC ID: 22NC. Click here for certification details from PCGS.
