Lot 1062
1864 Two Cents. Small motto. NGC graded MS-65 Red & Brown. Old holder. Abundant mint red visable. Well detailed with extraordinary fresh mint luster, spot free and vibrant color that is capped off by desirable Small Motto IN GOD WE TRUST above the shield. The dies left their rigid impression behind without the least weakness or imprecision. All of the leaf veins show on both sides; all vertical and horizontal lines as well in the ornate shield, a motif James B. Longacre (the mint's engraver at the time) chose again for his Shield nickel of 1866.
Estimated Value $2,200 - 2,400.
