1864. Small motto. NGC graded MS-66 Red & Brown. Boldly struck with lots of mint red visible and lightly toned with the commonly seen variagated wood grain pattern. The surfaces are virtually perfect, as expected for this lofty grade. The eye appeal is strong, and this is a lovely example of this rarely seen issue. The Small Motto design was seen on earlier patterns and only a limited number of 1864 regular issue coins, and all are highly sought after today, especially so when found in top grades as noted here. Pop 16; tied for the finest Red & Brown examples graded at both services. Estimated Value $3,800 - 4,000

1864. Small motto. PCGS graded MS-64 Red. Well struck with about 50% mint red visible, the balance showing slightly mellowed mint color. Sharply struck and downright rare this nice, as the Small Motto coins were struck in quite limited numbers after carefully reviewing 1864 pattern pieces and deciding on a slightly larger letter punch for the Motto on the ribbon. Not many of the original Pattern style Small Motto coins were struck for circulation. However these are highly collectible when found with the Small Motto, especially so at this lofty grade level. Pop 19; 31 finer for MSRD at PCGS. (PCGS # 3581) Estimated Value $3,500 - 4,000
