pirgah Valued Member Brazil 115 Posts	Posted 02/02/2018 06:01 am I need some help to know if this is an authentic or fake 1864 2 cents small motto. They wanted US$ 100 for it, which I think it´s too much considering how much the coin is worn. Report this Post to the Staff

Buckwill311 Valued Member United States 363 Posts	Posted 02/02/2018 06:16 am Unfortunately this one is an 1864 large motto. The most telling signs are on the ends of the banners. They do not match an authentic small motto 1864. I also like to look at the you in Trust because a large motto has a completely different shape compared to the small motto. I give it a grade of G6 certainly not worth $100 If it was a small motto $100 would be a steal Report this Post to the Staff

SilverDollar2017 Pillar of the Community United States 8715 Posts	Posted 02/02/2018 11:18 am Definitely a large motto, unfortunately. The easiest way to tell is the T in TRUST. In the Small Motto, the T is touching the middle of the ribbon, on the Large Motto, there is a small gap. This is showing the gap, so it's a large motto.
