1869 Two-Cent Piece. Proof-66 RB (PCGS).；Delicate olive-gray iridescence is seen on both sides of this otherwise medium orange specimen. The full strike, nicely mirrored finish, and expertly preserved surfaces uphold the premium Gem rating from PCGS. Although the 1869 is a more readily obtainable Proof two-cent piece, survivors that are as carefully preserved and aesthetically pleasing as the present example are elusive.；From our (Stacks) sale of the S.S. Forrest, Jr. Collection, September 1972, part of lot 872.
