Chancellor Sutler Pillar of the Community United States 1372 Posts	Posted 09/26/2011 01:13 am I set out tonight to see if I could find a small motto 1864 2 cent piece for cheap. I picked this one up for 17.69 shipped. It's probably a coin that nobody wants in low grade, but at the price, I won't mind getting "stuck" with it. The other day I set out with the idea of finding a 1934 Washington quarter DDO for cheap, and got one for under 10 dollars. There's anoher on ebay right now for less than 12 bucks. I know it wouldn't slab in a problem free holder, but I'm not a slab kind of guy anyway. Chance Edited by Chancellor Sutler 09/26/2011 03:27 am Report this Post to the Staff

Small Motto variety had a rounded opening in D of GOD and the T of TRUST abuts the ribbon fold, not to mention the physical size difference between the two. Report this Post to the Staff
Chancellor Sutler Pillar of the Community United States 1372 Posts	Posted 09/26/2011 03:06 am You're correct ........ I'm still in the hunt. I was just about to post the correction, but since you already did, all I can say is oops. There seems to be 3 sizes if you ask me. One really large lettering, the small motto has letters that appear wider than they are tall ... and this one's somewhere in between. Chance Report this Post to the Staff
