The 1872 proof two-cent piece was produced in a mintage of approximately 950 coins. The proof mintage now exceeded any realistic chance of finding a high-grade circulation-strike counterpart. A collector who wants a fully mirrored 1872 two-cent piece in top condition is almost certainly looking for a proof. The business strikes, at only 65,000 produced, are rare in any grade and almost never encountered in choice Uncirculated.
