Spring 2022 U.S. Coins Auction

详细说明: 1871 Two-Cent Piece. Proof-66 RB (NGC). Handsome, vivid surfaces combine a copper-blue and deep rose obverse with a more uniform steely-rose reverse. Both sides are silky smooth in appearance with a full strike and undeniable Gem quality. Most numismatic sources estimate the mintage of the Proof 1871 two-cent piece at 960+ pieces, the exact mintage unknown as the Mint did not begin recording the number of Proof minor coins struck until the late 1870s. The 1871 is conditionally challenging and can be difficult to obtain any finer than Proof-64 RB. Indeed, the typical example that passes through our hands is a moderately to extensively toned Red and Brown with at least a few distracting carbon flecks or other blemishes. The present example is expertly preserved surfaces and possesses abundant eye appeal. It is sure to sell for a strong premium. NGC Census: 21; 2 finer in this category (Proof-67 RB finest). PCGS# 3646. NGC ID: 22NH. Click here for certification details from NGC. Additional image by NGC Photo Vision. Learn more at NGCcoin.com
