Description
Rarely Seen Near-Gem Proof Red
1864 Large Motto Two Cent Piece
1864 2C Large Motto PR64 Red NGC. An unknown, but small
number of proofs were struck in 1864 of the new two cent piece.
Breen states that at least 100 pieces were produced for inclusion
in proof sets for that year, but "others were doubtless made for
sale separately from the sets." This is an amazingly bright, full
red example that shows deeply reflective fields. While not
acknowledged by NGC, the devices are also frosted and present a
moderate cameo contrast on each side. A splendid proof striking of
this first year of issue.(Registry values: N1793)Coin Index Numbers: (NGC ID# 274T, PCGS# 3623, GSID# 2709)
