Lot 1446
1864 Two Cents. Small motto. MS-65 Brown. The surfaces are very clean on this rare coin, and show few signs of contact even when examined with a glass. The color is a bit odd, and we note some faint hairlines suggesting that this coin was cleaned in the distant past. Now toned hues of brown and light yellow gold on both sides. Sharply struck on all but the S in TRUST. With the usual die crack through the bases of legend.
Estimated Value $600 - 800.
Purchased from Ira S. Reed, 2/16/45 for $22.
