Rich original brown surfaces with warm chocolate, olive, and faded red undertones. Luster remains strong beneath the patina and the strike is very sharp. A wholesome, problem-free Mint State example of this better early date.

CAC. R-6. A bust of George Washington faces right on the obverse, the legend IN GOD WE TRUST above and the date below. A laurel wreath on the reverse encircles a large broad numeral 5 with the legend UNITED STATES OF AMERICA around. Struck in nickel with a plain edge.

CAC. R-8. Regular dies obverse, paired with a reverse that features a large fancy 5 within a wreath instead of stars as on the adopted issue. Struck in copper with a plain edge. Rich chocolate-brown surfaces display smooth, reflective proof fields and sharply executed design detail.

CAC. Extremely flashy and a needle-sharp strike. The surfaces are beautiful and original with frosty white devices and semi proof-like fields. A stand-out survivor from a modest 22,000 coin mintage.

Extraordinary quality and superb eye appeal. The strike is bold and precise throughout, with sharp definition to the star and shield on the obverse and crisp detail to the Roman numeral III and surrounding design elements on the reverse. Both sides exhibit vibrant, original toning in shades of gold, turquoise, lavender, and subtle iridescent hues, […]

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  denomination.

Arguably full red with deep reflective fields and razor-sharp definition throughout. The shield and motto display crisp detail, while the reverse wreath is boldly struck with strong contrast. Smooth, glassy surfaces and excellent eye appeal define this high-grade example of this low mintage proof. Just 725 minted.

A mere 9,000 minted with fewer than 100 known. This is one of the better survivors with warm, original yellow-gold surfaces displaying considerable mint luster and just a touch of wear consistent with the AU55 grade. The strike is bold overall, with well-defined hair detail above Liberty’s ear and strong feather definition on the eagle. […]

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