详细说明: Key Date 1872 Two-Cent Piece 1872 Two-Cent Piece. MS-65 RD (PCGS). A simply breathtaking example of this low mintage, key date issue. Charming pinkish-rose color blankets both sides, the surfaces of which also retain a silky smooth appearance that confirms the impressive Gem Mint State grade from PCGS. Sharply to fully struck. By 1872 the two-cent piece had outlived its usefulness in commerce, and the Philadelphia Mint brought the circulation strike portion of the series to an end that year with a mintage of just 65,000 pieces. Examples are elusive and have long enjoyed strong collector demand at all levels of preservation. The Gem we are offering here is rarer than a similar quality survivor of the year's Proof issue, and it represents a significant find for the advanced collector specializing in this brief, yet challenging 19th century series. PCGS Population: 8; 4 finer in this category (MS-66 RD finest). PCGS# 3614. NGC ID: 22NG. Click here for certification details from PCGS.
