- 1865 Two-Cent Piece. Plain 5. Proof-66 BN Cameo (NGC). CAC.
Seldom do survivors of this early date Proof two-cent issue possess the outstanding technical quality and awe-inspiring eye appeal of this premium quality Gem. Fully struck with handsome bright copper-rose patina, direct lighting calls forth even more vivid undertones of iridescent olive-orange and powder blue. Fully struck, as befits the issue, yet with an uncommon degree of reflectivity in the fields that helps to explain the coveted Cameo designation from NGC. The second year 1865 two-cent piece has an unknown mintage as the Mint did not record the number of Proof minor coins struck during that era. Most numismatic references provide an estimate of 500+ pieces, most survivors of which do not even approach the quality and eye appeal of this beautiful example. Indeed, Proofs of this denomination are rarely encountered with a Cameo finish irrespective of date, which fact further confirms the significance of this offering for collectors building high grade Proof type or date sets.
