- Lot Description
- 1864 Two-Cent Piece. Large Motto. Proof-65 RB Cameo (NGC). Direct lighting calls forth intense reflectivity from the fields, as well as vivid pale pink color. Lightly toned in speckled gray-brown, as well, this fully struck and boldly cameoed Gem makes a lovely impression in all regards. With its identically dated Small Motto counterpart a classic numismatic rarity, the Large Motto is the only realistic type candidate from the first year Proof 1864 two-cent issue as far as most collectors are concerned. Upper end specimens such as this are always in demand. NGC Census: 4; with a single Proof-66 RB Cameo finer in this category. Click here for certification details from NGC.
