Lot Description

1864 Two-Cent Piece. Large Motto. FS-1101 (FS-001). Doubled Die Obverse. MS-65 RD (PCGS). Secure Holder. An original and important Gem, both sides exhibit a mostly medium-orange sheen to the luster. Speckles of pale-gray and lavender-copper iridescence are also present in the centers, these being the only blemishes to report. A bold DDO when examined with the aid of a loupe, the 1864 FS-1101 is attributable by looking at the lettering in the motto IN GOD WE TRUST. The example we offer here is the finest certified at PCGS and the only piece with a full RD color designation as part of the grade.
