rbaker20 Valued Member United States 217 Posts	Posted 01/12/2026 3:20 pm Hey guys, so I picked up this 1864 2 cent piece at large motto price. I looked at the motto for large and small. I wanted to pick your guys brains because the GOD looks like a small motto but the TRUST looks like the Large motto. Thoughts? I havent received the coin yet but when I do, I will get you better pictures. Report this Post to the Staff
