The 1865 United States 2C NGC MS 63 BN coin is a two-cent piece minted in 1865 in the United States. 

The description of this specific coin's grade is as follows:

1. NGC: The coin has been certified by the Numismatic Guaranty Corporation (NGC), a reputable third-party coin grading service. NGC assigns a numerical grade to coins based on their condition, ensuring collectors and dealers have a standardized and objective evaluation of the coin.
2. MS 63: MS stands for "Mint State," which is a grading term used to describe coins that have never been in circulation and have retained their original mint luster. The number "63" is a numerical grade within the Mint State range (MS-60 to MS-70) and reflects the coin's overall condition. A grade of MS-63 is considered "Choice Uncirculated" and indicates that the coin is in above-average uncirculated condition. It may have some contact marks or other minor imperfections, but the coin is still very attractive.
3. BN: The "BN" designation stands for "Brown." It refers to the color of the coin's surface and is commonly used for copper coins like the two-cent piece. Over time, copper coins tend to naturally tone or oxidize to shades of brown, ranging from light to dark. The BN designation indicates that the coin's original red color has mostly faded and turned into a brown hue. This is normal for older copper coins and does not necessarily detract from their value or appeal.

In summary, a 1865 United States 2C NGC MS 63 BN coin is a two-cent piece from 1865 that has been certified by NGC to be in Choice Uncirculated condition (MS-63), with a mostly brown coloration due to natural toning.
