1864 2C Large Motto, RB PR (PCGS#3622)

June 2023 U.S. Coins Auction

Lot Description: 1864 Two-Cent Piece. Large Motto. Proof-64 RB (PCGS). CAC. This reflective two-cent piece has razor sharp striking detail and delightful deep tobacco-brown patina. Faded mint color in champagne-pink is evident as the coin dips into a light, as are light lilac-blue undertones. A shallow planchet void on the reverse inside the letters AM in AMERICA is as made. As the more common of the two hub varieties of the Proof 1864 two-cent piece, the Large Motto is extremely popular for type purposes as a first year issue. The mintage is estimated at just over 100 specimens distributed as part of the year's silver and minor coin Proof sets, along with additional pieces struck for individual sale. With CAC approval, the offered coin represents a fleeting opportunity for the Proof two-cent specialist. PCGS# 3622. NGC ID: 274T. Click here for certification details from PCGS.
