It is really hard to find a proof 2-cent piece that actually looks like a proof. Most are dull and brown. It is interesting that Indian cents from the same period are easier to find as attractive proofs (my opinion, anyway).
I have never bought a proof 2-cent piece because I've never been offered one that I liked.
Gee Chris, I hurt myself on that one as I tried to do a double back flip upon seeing it. At my age that is dangerous. I may be in traction for a while. A very beautiful coin. Thanks for posting the picture.

I had the pleasure in viewing these coins in person. Amazing set. My favorite is the top rarity - the 1864 Small Motto Proof in PCGS PR-65 RD Cameo (CAC). Stunning coin.

I don't know about that, there is a thread about potective sleeves for slabs posted today too.

Not really looking for much these days but if I were, it might be a toner.
