Description
1864 Small Motto Two Cent Piece, MS66 Brown
Significant Underlying Red is Apparent
1864 2C Small Motto MS66 Brown NGC. The Small Motto 1864 has
been an avidly pursued rarity for generations. An unknown, but
small number of business strikes were minted with the Small Motto
on the wreath. Probably only a couple of thousand Small Motto coins
were produced, and the remainder of the 19+ million two cent pieces
dated 1864 were of the Large Motto variety. This is an especially
pleasing example of this rarity. The surfaces are called Brown by
NGC, but the brown is just a light, even overlay of patina with
most of the original red still showing through the thin veneer of
brown. The reverse shows interesting multiple die cracks around the
periphery. A splendid, problem-free coin that has more to offer
than the obvious rarity of the Small Motto variant. Census: 5 in 66
