Where are the Red Two-Cent pieces?

TwoCentDotCom

Building a nice set of red two-cent pieces is no small task! I am not privvy to the PCGS population (I am not a paid subscriber) but NGC shows only 600 red two-cent pieces, most of these in the first two year's minting. Heritage has a great number of two-centers, but very few in red. Few of the dealers offer red two-centers. Heritage, Teletrade, even Yahoo only occasionally offer a piece. Where else can I look to find some nice pieces? Is it worth attending some of the larger shows? Are there dealers in addition to Jack Beymer who offer these beautiful coins?

Most dealers will add these to stock when they're available and this is the sort of
coin that any dealer will bring to a show if he has one. Larger shows should turn up
a few slabbed and raw examples. Finding unc 2c pieces at local shows may prove
more problematical.

In the old days...which I define as the late 1960s and the 1970s, you could go to a coin show and there would be 4 or 5 dealers who each had 2 to 10 full red two cent pieces and large cents. Now you're lucky to find one coin at a show...and very few appear at auction. I think full red copper is way under-appreciated and probably quite underpriced.
