1871 NGC PF-64 RB CAC. 1871 NGC PF-64 RB CAC.
Lot Title: 1871 NGC PF-64 RB CAC.
Description: 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 iridescence. In no way does this detract from the strong proof presence, however, as both sides gleam with fiery brilliance from the protected areas, particularly between the stripes of the shield. Tinges of that same attractive iridescence touches a few of the upper relief areas of the obverse as well, and this actually accentuates the already-laser-sharp strike details. One cannot find any obvious hairlines on the obverse to explain the numeric level, but the reverse does display flickering hairlines here and there under close inspection. (PCGS# 003646)

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...
304The Midwest Summer Sale 2012 on 07/27/2012$525.00
1871 MS-64.
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...
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...
