1868 Two-Cent Piece. Proof-65 RD (PCGS). OGH.This enchanting specimen combines an olive-orange obverse with an even more vivid deep rose reverse. Both sides are fully struck with ample reflectivity shining forth from the fields as the surfaces rotate under a light. While the 1868 is one of the more frequently encountered Proof two-cent pieces in an absolute sense, precious few survivors are as carefully preserved and visually appealing as this full Red Gem. From an unknown mintage that is likely on the order of 750 to 1,000 Proofs.
