Lot 2462		1865 Two Cents. PCGS graded MS-65 Red. A full Mint Red gem specimen. The surfaces are a vibrant copper red, with blazing rather than subtle luster. A solidly graded example, this coin also displays above-average striking definition for an Two-cent from 1865. This is to say that the strike is complete, not even a single fused shield line or bluntly struck leaf to keep this coin from being full. Pop 194; 43 in 66 RD, 2 in 67 RD (PCGS # 3584) . Estimated Value $1,600 - 1,650. View details and enlarged photos Check results on similar lots	Unsold
