2C 1864 PCGS PR65RB SMALL MOTTO

This is the third GEM Proof we have owned. We think this coin should have been a PR65+ RB-and we even resubmitted it. PCGS was extra tough here!

Both sides are amazingly clean. Using a powerful glass, you can NOT find ANY distractions of NY size, ANY where. The mirrors are crystal clear and do have strong reflectivity. No question the toning is ORIGINAL. However because it is slightly streaky that may be why PCGS refuses to designate it a higher grade. We think the toning is gorgeous. The colors are a rich violet/pale blue/mint red/gold mix. Every detail is frosted and has a needle sharp strike. The eye appeal is gorgeous!

LESS then 100 were minted. PCGS 2, NGC 3, CAC 1. A PR 64+RB sold for $97,750.00 11/11 Stacks. The coin we offered here we purchased 3/12 Stacks for $112,125.00. Compared to many other classic rarities, we feel this date (and grade) are extremely UNDERvalued.

Legend Numismatics is pleased to own and offer this magnificent specimen-a classic rarity and the ultimate PR 2C piece (ranked #77 in the top 100 Rarities book) for inclusion in your collection!
