(About The Images)
1871 MS-64. 1871 MS-64.
Lot Title: 1871 MS-64.
Description: A remarkably sharp two-cent for the era, the devices are about as well struck as one can ever expect from a circulation strike, and fields show slight reflectivity, nearly suggestive of semi-prooflike quality. Lovely mint-orange color dominates each side, speckled with original brown toning and reddish inflections here and there. (PCGS# 003610)

This lot may contain an item not certified by ANACS, PCGS, or NGC. While Scotsman Auction Co. is typically conservative in our descriptions of items not certified by one of these companies, we cannot guarantee our grading estimation will match their grade. We highly recommend that collectors seeking items certified by a third-party grading service only bid on items that have already been certified. No lot can be returned because of a variance in judgment with regards to grade.

Low Estimate: $500.00
High Estimate: $600.00
Lot Status: Bidding has been closed for this lot.

523The Midwest Summer Sale on 07/26/2013$525.00
1871 NGC PF-63 RB.
French Connection Estate. Vintage surfaces have never been conserved in any manner, which means the mellow sienna-brown toning is all original, right down to the carbon spots that likely determine...
312The Collectors' Auction 2012 on 10/05/2012$825.00
1871 NGC PF-64 RB CAC.
Ember-red color dominates the obverse and seems to call into question the lesser red-brown designation, but NGC called the color perfectly, since about half the reverse displays cyan-brown...
230The Midwest Winter Sale on 02/12/2010$1,200.00
1871 NGC AU-58BN and 1872 ANACS Net XF-40/scratched.
1871 displays much dusty sienna-brown patina across each side, not enhanced or doctored in any way. The 1872 seems rather harshly described by ANACS, since the scratch that appears on the obverse...
167The Collectors' Auction 2009 on 10/16/2009$290.00
1871 NGC MS-63 BN.
Throughout both sides of this 1871 two-cent, tantalizing nibblets of mint red color can be seen adhering to the devices, assuring mint-state status. The overall color scheme is clearly brown, as...

1853 half-cent (XF-45), 1854 large-cent (AU-55), and 1871 two-cent...
A trio of copper coins that are within striking distance of better mint-state grades. Included are: 1854 half-cent (XF-45), 1854 large-cent (AU-55), and 1871 two-cent (MS-60/questionable color). ...
291The Collectors' Auction 2008 on 10/17/2008$650.00
1871 PCGS PF-64 RB.
It is difficult to discern exactly what portion of this copper proof has allegedly turned "brown" to account for the very conservative "RB" color designation. As far as your cataloger can ascertain,...
292The Collectors' Auction 2008 on 10/17/2008$370.00
1871 MS-64 BN.
Threadlike die cracks can be seen across each side, particularly in the peripheral areas. Though about 90% brown, iridescent color glimmers from the central obverse and much of the reverse. Better...
