This specimen was lot 74764 in Stack's Bowers Collectors Choice sale (Costa Mesa, CA, November 2022), where it sold for $60. The catalog description<sup>[1]</sup> noted, "[[Germany|GERMANY]]. [[German States, Saxony|Saxony]]-Albertine. 2 Pfennig, 1869-B. Dresden Mint. Johann. NGC MS-66 Brown. Extraordinary cartwheel luster covers the frosty surfaces, showing splendid variation among overtones of indigo and blue-violet. The rich, consistent chocolate brown base is a pleasure to examine from every angle, and hints of mint red can still be spotted in the crevasses. The devices are well-detailed, all surrounded by fields that betray not the slightest evidence of handling." This type was struck 1862-66, 1869 and 1873 and is common in all grades.

''Recorded mintage:'' 2,220,000.

''Specification:'' 2.88 g, copper, 19.1 mm diameter.

''Catalog reference:'' KM-1217.
