1864 Two-Cent Piece. FS-401. Small Motto. MS-64 BN (PCGS). CAC. Much scarcer than its identically dated Large Motto counterpart, the 1864 Small Motto has long been considered a key date issue in the two-cent series of 1864 to 1873. This important hub variety is easiest to attribute by looking at the letter D in GOD, which is relatively short with a more rounded (as opposed to oval) shape. Conditionally scarce, this handsome near-Gem example reveals blushes of faded mint orange color on otherwise warmly toned, olive and golden-brown surfaces. Bold to sharp in strike, with an expectably smooth "look" for the assigned grade. Provenance: From the Warwick Collection, assembled from the 1930s through the 1960s. PCGS# 3579. NGC ID: 22N8.
