1864 Two-Cent Piece. FS-401. Small Motto. MS-64 BN (PCGS). CAC.This wonderfully original example retains glints of reddish-orange color to otherwise warmly patinated golden-brown and gray-brown surfaces. Both sides are smooth and satiny in texture with the appearance of full Gem quality. Produced prior to its Large Motto counterpart, and in far more limited numbers, the Small Motto is the rarer circulation strike two-cent piece from the denominations first year of issue. This premium near-Gem is an outstanding candidate to represent this key hub variety in an advanced collection.From the Maurice Snow Collection.
