Lot 1450
1865 Two Cents. PCGS graded MS-66 Red. This coin has a normal date, but the upper left serif of the D of UNITED is missing (common to these). Resplendent original mint red on both sides, without any signs of toning or heavy spotting. One of the very finest to survive of this date, in fact, PCGS has only graded 8 coins this high, with none graded higher. A memorable offering.
Estimated Value $1,600 - 2,000.
Part of the Benson Collection purchased in the 1940's.
