1864 Small Motto. NGC MS-64 BN. 1864 Small Motto. NGC MS-64 BN.
Lot Title: 1864 Small Motto. NGC MS-64 BN.
Description: Perfectly natural, brown patina yields suddenly to a jagged mint-red area at lower right on the obverse, and the entire coin displays tiny crumbles of greenish verdigris that attest to a very high level of vintage quality. This is obviously an important consideration to the collector who wants an unmolested example of this difficult key 2-cent in his collection. As is commensurate with the MS-64 numeric level, only modest luster remains, though some design elements are surrounded by pleasing frosty texture. Cataloger's note: the front left edge of the slab shows some chipping. (PCGS# 038232)

1864 Small Motto. NGC MS-65 BN.
A trivial dash of coppery mint-gold color touches the obverse bottom right rim, and elevates the lustrous effect on the reverse right side. Intriguing neon-blue toning dominates both sides, however,...

1864 Small Motto. F.
WE need not be present on ribbon for the "small motto" to be easily attributed, since the rest of the lettering makes attribution a snap. Half the horizontal shield lines remain strong, and the...

1864 Small Motto. ANACS XF-40.

1864 Small Motto. PCGS PF-64 BN.

1864 Small Motto. AU-50 Details, Dipped.
Struck a bit off center to the northeast on the obverse, though the reverse is perfectly centered. There is no way to determine for sure why this coin was dipped to a somewhat unnatural salmon color,...
