A truly outstanding Gem Red Two Cent Piece. Fully struck with crisp details in the shield and wreath, this coin retains its original fiery red luster across both obverse and reverse, with vibrant cartwheel brilliance that testifies to careful preservation. The color is remarkably fresh and uniform, a rarity for this short-lived Civil War–era denomination.

Well detailed and original with considerable mint luster. A popular first-year Type-2 ‘Twenty’.

Well detailed with russet toning on predominately silver-gray surfaces.

Well struck and lustrous with a crisp white reverse and olive-green toning on the obverse.

Sharply struck and lustrous with choice surfaces that have a nice blend of mint red and soft olive-brown. Minimal marks and no spots!

Lustrous surfaces show excellent preservation for the grade, with only minor marks and smooth, original texture. The strike is crisp, and the color balance leans more toward red than brown, making it especially desirable among red-brown designations.

Well struck with rich satiny luster and minimal marks.

CAC. R.6. The obverse features a bust of Liberty facing left, wearing a coronet, surrounded by the legend and date. This is similar to the Nickel Three Cent design. The reverse shows the denomination within a laurel wreath that is close to the edges on the reverse, with a tiny IN GOD WE TRUST above. […]

A modest 2,019,000 1867 nickels were struck with ‘Rays’ before the Rays were removed from the reverse dies and 28,890,000 more were struck. This is a pleasing example with nice original surfaces.
