I'd really like to see pictures of 1864 2c small motto and large motto varieties. I don't have a copy of Breen yet, and haven't been able to find decent close-up pics.

or anyone have some nice toned 2c's they'd show off? I'm curious what sorta colors show up on them. Feel free to share a pic of any 2c you have

Here's a LM that's pretty funky. Die cracks, recut letters, weak letters, rim cud, etc. Plenty to look at.

This is not my pic, but I thought you would find it useful. Notice the angle of the D? That's an easy marker. If it leans right, it's a LD. Leans left? SD.

Hmm, I have this little number

(PR64RD) and then there is my icon(PR64RD). Lost the great pics of that one when the computer went down, but I'll take more soon.

Here's mine. Note the retained cud at K3 on the reverse.

envelope toned proof coin

and the coin is really deeply cameoed too but due to the toning would never get the cameo designation but you can still see the extremely deep mirrors contrasted with the now toned over frosted devices

there is not one hairline or nick on this coin

basically a pristine proof coin put into an envelope and stored away for many many decades

Thanks for the easy tell on small vs. large motto dheath.

That is some really beautiful blue toning on the reverse michael! I'm not an expert enough yet to be able to tell non cameo from dcam, but if you're right that it is cameo'd it's really too bad it wouldn't get the designation. Is that pretty common for PCGS - to not give CAM designations for toned coins?

Thanks all for sharing!

That one is RB, and yet the 1869 I posted is BN. PCGS cracks me up.

Here's an 1864 Large Motto in PCGS FR02 grade:

Craig,

I'll bet you were disappointed with that submission result.

Russ, NCNE

Russ:

Your 1868 is the kind of 2-center I am looking for. I can't believe it is BN.

Colorfulcoins · August 13, 2004 5:01AM

Russ, think it might have graded lower? I think the obverse is probably a lower-end FR02 while the reverse is probably more like AG03+........the reverse is just way to strong to hope for a lower grade. So.......I'm still looking for a PO01!

Anyone got one?

I will pay anyone 2 pennies for one of these.
