A WONDERFUL GEM! The ONLY MS65 RD approved by CAC! That screams exactly how tough this date is to find in FULL RED! It also has a sensational pedigree. A stone ORIGINAL GEM RED two cent! Exceptional red luster blooms throughout the surfaces, accenting the nicely struck devices. Bold coppery red hues grace both sides of this superb coin, and the surfaces are clean and free of any singularly distracting marks, lines, ticks, or flecks. The presently offered GEM has a wonderful eye appeal. Housed in an old green tag PCGS slab. Ex. Heritage, May 2009, lot 219; Heritage's ANA Auction, August 2010, lot 3993; Eugene Gardner Collection; Heritage's sale of the Gardner Collection, Part II, October 2014, lot 98107; Legend Rare Coin Auctions' Regency Auction XXIV, December 2017, lot 142; Legend Rare Coin Auctions' Regency Auction 26, May 2018, lot 372; our consignor. PCGS 15, NGC 8, CAC 1. This coin most recently sold for $6,756 in the May 2018 Gardner sale, and it brought what was, at the time, a world record $15,275. There are just 10 graded higher at PCGS in the RD category and the Simpson MS66 RD CAC sold for $37,200 in February 2021. Clearly the published levels are all wrong! Good luck. Cert.
