3058: 1867 2C Doubled Die Obverse, FS-101, MS65 Red and
1867 2C Doubled Die Obverse, FS-101, MS65 Red and Brown PCGS. CAC. IN GOD and the left-side arrowhead and shaft are prominently die doubled. The 1867 FS-101 is an important Guide Book variety, and is rarely encountered as a Gem. At that level, PCGS has certified two pieces as Brown, four pieces as Red and Brown, and two coins as Red, with the solitary MS66 example designated Red and Brown (6/20). The present lot is single finest at CAC, and it easy to understand why given its unmarked surfaces and solid strike. Ample sun-gold color illuminates both sides. We note a small area of lavender toning on the obverse border at 10:30. HID03101062020 © 2020 Heritage Auctions | All Rights Reserved
