- Blazing Bright Red Key Date 1872 Two-Cent Piece in Near Gem Condition 1872 Two-Cent Piece. MS-64 RD (NGC). Incredible mint color throughout for this rare and desirable date. The recorded mintage of 65,000 has been reduced to about one percent of those if the combined grading service populations are used. Red examples are the most coveted and virtually impossible to find. NGC for all its years of grading records just five examples in all grades with the Red designation. The strike is generally sharp but there are minor localized areas of softness from grease on the obverse die. No spots or handling issues are distracting, and this is undoubtedly one of the finest examples to retain this degree of mint color to survive. Worthy of the most advanced collection. Numismatic Reflections by Q. David Bowers A collection of circulation strike two-cent pieces is a challenge to form, with this being the rarest and the 1864 Small Motto coming in second. Beyond that, dates of the late 1860s through 1871 are generally difficult to find. PCGS# 3614. NGC Census: 3; 2 finer (MS-65 Red finest) within the Red designation.
