***Auction Highlight*** 1868 FS-301 MPD Two Cent Piece 2c Graded GEM Unc RD By USCG. A radiant and fiery red-orange Gem with splashes of rust color throughout the reverse. The fields are intensely satiny and the photo unfortunately does not do this Gem justice.. Sharply struck and essentially free from friction. The short-lived two-cents series ran from 1864 through 1873, with the last year a Proof-only issue. Gem specimens of all dates are available to those with patience and an eye for quality. However, even high grade example have typically lost their original Red coloration, and finding one with full mint color can be a considerable challenge. This Red example ranks among the finest pieces known from this issue, and only 6 graded finer at MS-66 RD. Tied for 7th finest known. A Corey's Pick, Bid to Win, Don't let it get Away, you might not find its equal Coin. I give this coin my highest recommendation
