First year of the series and short-lived ‘Rays’ sub-type. This is a pleasing example with choice lustrous surfaces and a strong strike.

One of the finest example of this first year Shield Nickel graded by PCGS. The strike is needle-sharp and a rich luster patina with a faint gold tint coats nearly flawless surfaces. A dramatic die crack is seen in the lower reverse. Excellent eye appeal!

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.
