516 | The Midwest Summer Sale on 07/26/2013 | $525.00 |
1864 Large Motto NGC MS-64 RB, and an 1869 NGC MS-63 RB.
|
French Connection Estate. The upper and lower reaches of the "RB" designation are tested by this pair, as the 1864 shows gleaming copper-bright luster that seems right on the cusp of "red", while the... |

310 | The Collectors' Auction 2012 on 10/05/2012 | $450.00 |
1864 Large Motto. NGC MS-65.
|
Shattered reverse. Knockout eye-appeal starts out with exceptional, lively luster and develops even further with strong mint color that almost appears fully RED at first glance. Precisely struck... |
|
166 | The Collectors' Auction 2009 on 10/16/2009 | $875.00 |
1864 Large Motto. NGC MS-65 RD.
|
Well over 95% of the original mint-orange color remains prevalent, subdued by pumpkin-brown tone only in limited areas. Luster is nearly dazzling, and there is no doubt that this coin is thoroughly... |
|
510 | The Midwest Summer Sale on 07/24/2009 | $340.00 |
1864 Large Motto. MS-65RB.
|
Extensive luster demonstrates the technical mint state preservation, and both sides are free of the brown patina expected of a coin of this age. And in addition, the strike is excellent for the... |
|
271 | The Collectors' Auction 2008 on 10/17/2008 | $500.00 |
1864 Large Motto and 1866 Two-Cent Pieces, NGC.
|
A nice pair of two cent coins, graded by NGC. The 1864 is a "large motto" type graded MS-65 RB, though this coin actually retains about 80% of its original red color, and benefits from semi-prooflike... |
|
272 | The Collectors' Auction 2008 on 10/17/2008 | $825.00 |
1864 Large Motto and 1866 (x2) Two cents. PCGS.
|
Although each member of this trio is a common issue, all of these two cent coins possess good eye appeal. Included are: 1864 "large motto" (MS-64 RB), 1866 (MS-64 RB), and 1866 (PR-63 RB). The obverse... |
|
273 | The Collectors' Auction 2008 on 10/17/2008 | $400.00 |
Trio of Two Cents, each MS-60, recolored.
|
This lot commences with a nicely struck 1864 "large motto" that displays excellent luster, but the color is peculiarly ruddy and cannot be considered original. A rather lackluster 1865 has even bolder... |
|
276 | The Collectors' Auction 2008 on 10/17/2008 | $260.00 |
1864 Large Motto. PCGS MS-64 RB.
|
A delightful copper-red hue totally bathes both sides of this popular but obsolete denomination. Its reverse depicts hints of lavender iridescence. Microscopic tics and diminutive spots are... |
|
279 | The Collectors' Auction 2008 on 10/17/2008 | $1,150.00 |
1864 Large Motto. PCGS MS-65 RD.
|
The reverse is a full shade lighter than the obverse, yet both sides volunteer enough original mint red color to qualify for the coveted "red" designation from PCGS. This is an exquisitely struck and... |
|
303 | The Collectors' Auction 2007 on 10/19/2007 | $150.00 |
1864 Large Motto MS-62 BN and 1865 AU-58.
|
The 1864 large-motto has a nice die clash and alludes to original mint color with a crescent of copper red on each side. The 1865 has virtually uncirculated details, but the color seems overly orange... |
|
235 | The Collector's Auction on 10/20/2006 | $575.00 |
1864 Large Motto. NGC MS-64 RD.
|
A gleaming golden aspect radiates from this example's highly lustrous surfaces. This vibrant specimen has an impressive strike and shows a moderate splash of flecks. |
|
283 | The Midwest Summer Sale 2006 on 07/21/2006 | $200.00 |
1864 Large Motto. NGC MS-64 RB.
|
The intense reddish orange surfaces are somewhat muted by splashes of mauve tints that are reminiscent of western sunsets. There are no obtrusive marks or blemished to note on a strike with prominent... |

1864 Large Motto. NGC MS-65 RB.
