- The Small Motto version of the 1864 two cent piece is one of the KEYS to this short lived series and is a MAJOR condition rarity in this grade. This odd denomination was struck to ease the shortage of coinage in circulation brought about by uncertainties of the Civil War. The 2-cent denomination was struck in bronze and was not subject to hoarding so it served a great purpose in day to day commerce. The two cent pieces were the first coins struck for circulation with the newly adopted motto IN GOD WE TRUST. In its first year of issue, 1864, these were struck with both a Large and Small motto on the banner, the latter is believed to have a mintage of only a few thousand and is therefore highly sought after by collectors. Incredible RED surfaces are blazingly brilliant with an unbelievable quantity of cartwheel brilliance. Just a tiny tick on the reverse is what keeps this GEM from an even loftier state of preservation. The eye appeal is simply AMAZING for this issue. PCGS 25, NGC 15, CAC 9. The last PCGS/CAC MS65 RD sold for $16,800 in October 2020. The current CAC CPG value is listed at $15,600 and it would not shock us if this remarkable GEM sold for more. A great way to start your GEM Registry Set of this conditionally challenging series. Cert. Number 41857599 PCGS # 3581.00
