1872 ANACS F-12.
|
|
Campania Estate. For the 2-cent series, "Fine" does not require "WE" to show on the ribbon, and thus, ANACS has nailed the F-12 grade perfectly for this key 2-cent. Delightful, fully original... |

1872 VF details/as described.
|
|
An obvious key to the series with a mintage of only 64,000 pieces, the 1872 often shows poor surface quality when found in middle grades. A relatively small patch of corrosion can be found just... |

1872 NGC MS-63 BN.
|
|
French Connection Estate. The actual coin itself, which purports to be an 1872 circulation strike 2-cent, will hold strong interest for collectors who aggressively pursue this date to complete their... |

|
1872 PCGS F-12.
|
|
With a bit of imagination, the bottom of "WE" might be just barely discernible under the most favorable of all possible lighting conditions, but let's just say it isn't quite there. It shouldn't... |

|
1872 PCGS PF-65RB CAC.
|
|
A smoothly reflective, stunning GEM, this two-cent represents the culmination of several collector desires. 1872 obviously echoes key-date status within the series, albeit for circulation strike... |

1872 PCGS Genuine (code 97/VF details/environmentally damaged.
|
|
Environmental damage indicated by code-97 is a laughable assessment. Please give me every key copper coin you have that looks this nice with that disclaimer, and I'll be the nation's happiest... |

1872 circulated/impaired.
|
|
Ex-Stack's, Rich Uhrich Collection, 2/26/2008: 1284. Details are at the VG-8 level, with WE illegible at the center of the obverse motto, but with strong presence of the rims entirely on the reverse,... |

|
1872 PCGS PF-65 BN CAC.
|
|
This could be the prettiest proof 1872 two-cent coin in existence -- at least for the PF-65 BN grade. The "brown" color designation is woefully inadequate for conveying the visual impact of immensely... |
|
| 169 | The Collectors' Auction 2009 on 10/16/2009 | $475.00 |
|
1872 PF-60RB.
|
|
Brilliantish orange surfaces are splashed with bluish tone near the lower obverse and upper reverse. Despite the predominantly reflective impression given by viewing this coin at arm's length, closer... |

|
1872 XF details.
|
|
The obverse motto is easy to read, including the WE that is typically weak at the center of the ribbon, and leaves on both sides provide excellent definition. All shield lines are razor sharp,... |
|
| 293 | The Collectors' Auction 2008 on 10/17/2008 | $600.00 |
|
1872 VF.
|
|
WE is virtually fully defined on the ribbon, certainly enough so as to allow it to be read easily. All shield lines are boldly separated except at the far right where they merge just ever so slightly... |

1872 NGC VF-30.
|
|
Proudly residing in a perfectly appropriate VF-30 NGC holder is this key to the two cent series, a strikingly original 1872 with walnut brown color and a fully readable motto. Of note is fracturing of... |

|
1872 PCGS PF-64 RB.
|
|
In spite of weak mirrors, the lack of diagnostic die cracks on the left side of the reverse validate proper attribution as a proof. Predominantly red, with mellowing of the color being responsible for... |

|
1872 PCGS MS-65 RB.
|
|
Were the two cent series as popular as, for example, Lincoln cents or buffalo nickels, can there be any doubt that the 1872 in gem grade would deservedly be valued at multiples of its current level?... |

1872 VF-25.
