Description
1864 Two Cent Piece, MS66 Red
Tied for the Finest Small Motto
1864 2C Small Motto MS66 Red PCGS. When the two cent
denomination was introduced in 1864, the first pieces had a Small
Motto. The obverse hub was changed to the Large Motto soon after
the first pieces were coined, and the majority of 1864 coins were
from the second hub. About 15% of all certified 1864 two cent
pieces at PCGS and NGC are the Small Motto type. Recognizing that
higher value equals higher submission rates, we conjecture that
just 10% of the 1864 mintage represented the Small Motto
production, or about 2 million coins. This Premium Gem is tied for
the finest that PCGS and NGC have graded. The brilliant orange
surfaces are frosty and highly lustrous with no blemishes on either
side. Population: 5 in 66 Red, 0 finer (11/17).(Registry values: N2998)Coin Index Numbers: (NGC ID# 22N8, PCGS# 3581, Greysheet# 2679)
Weight: 6.22 grams
Metal: 95% Copper, 5% Tin & zinc
