<B>1871 2C PR67 <img src="/images/star.gif" width="10" height="10" alt="" border="0"> Red Cameo NGC.</B></I> The motto is doubled on this piece, as on many proofs of this date, but apparently not all. In his <I>Complete Encyclopedia</B></I>, Breen describes a doubled motto variety, and illustrates that variety with a closeup of TRUST, appearing identical to this piece, although he doesn't mention proof examples in his reference.<BR> A stunning Superb Gem proof with impressive contrast between the fields and devices. Both sides have deep and nearly flawless mirrored fields, surrounding fully detailed and highly lustrous devices.<BR> This piece is the finest proof two cent piece that NGC has ever graded, regardless of date! Just three coins have been called PR67 <B><img src="/images/star.gif" width="10" height="10" alt="" border="0"></B></I>, including an 1870 PR67 <B><img src="/images/star.gif" width="10" height="10" alt="" border="0"></B></I> Brown, an 1872 PR67 <B><img src="/images/star.gif" width="10" height="10" alt="" border="0"></B></I> Red Brown, and this piece. No examples have been graded PR68 or finer.<BR><I>From The New York Eye Appeal Collection, Part Three.</B></I><BR><BR><b>Shipping:</b> Coins & Currency (<a target="_blank" href="http://www.heritageauctions.com/common/shipping.php">view shipping information</a>)
