<p>[QUOTE=&quot;johnmilton, post: 7726411, member: 101855&quot;]The 1864 Small Motto Two Cent Piece is not as scarce as you might think. I cherry-picked one from another dealer who didn&#039;t know what he had. When something is a Red Book variety, with good pictures of it in the book, I don&#039;t think that a dealer has much excuse for missing that. The coin had a full motto, with the &quot;WE&quot; very strong. It was an old-time VF. </p><p><br /></p><p>The Small Motto was actually a pattern coin die that the mint decided to use for business strikes. </p><p><br /></p><p>You can spot this coin, even when it is in very low grade. Not that the ribbon which contains &quot;In God we trust&quot; is closer to the rim on the Small Motto than it is on the Large Motto variety. </p><p><br /></p><p>[ATTACH=full]1324143[/ATTACH] </p><p><br /></p><p>[ATTACH=full]1324144[/ATTACH][/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
