Two Cent Pieces
1864 2C Large Motto MS66 Red PCGS. CAC. Blazing luster runs over both sides of this great-looking sunset-orange Premium Gem Red Large Motto two cent. The obverse displays some interesting peripheral die cracks, the heaviest from the 18 in the date running left to the fletchings and the lower leaves. It progresses upward to join the left corner of the scroll bearing the motto, seemingly an obverse die that was, well, about to do just that. The reverse die appears terminal as well, although U.S. Mint dies have proven surprisingly doughty. A few dark flecks on the obverse are far from overt and fail to diminish either the beauty or the collector appeal. Population: 63 in 66 (2 in 66+) Red, 2 finer. CAC: 15 in 66, 0 finer (1/17).
