That is a very nice appearing coin--it seems to have a ton of luster. And, while it's over 130 years old, the coin still has has significant amounts of red. Plus I know how scarce proof 1872 2 cent are!

Think of how many owners that coin has known. It's apparent that all have treated it with care. I wonder about the original owner, the person who bought it from the mint: What did he or she do for a living, where did they live, and so on. Regardless, it surely looks like the coin has another owner who will appreciate it.
