Opinion on 2 cent piece please

Barry

Do you think this coin has been dipped/recolored?

Dipped and recolored, not sure. It's a nice looking coin though.

Looks like it's been dipped, but it still is a nice looking coin.

ziggy29

Looks a little futzed with somehow -- just not quite *right* -- but still a pretty nice coin regardless.

Yes. K

I have a couple nice pieces that look similar to this one. PCGS has body-bagged them both due to "cleaning"

tmot99

I agree that it doesn't look right, but who am I to judge. I have one that PCGS BB'd for altered services.

The coin does look dipped. The color doesn't look right to me too. It's a nice looking 2 cent.

I like it !! Would look fantastic in my type set !!

My '64 is worn and the "WE" is not visable.

unoojojoe

It may very well have been dipped but still is a fine looking piece. Is this a piece you are offering for sale or are you interesting in buying it?

Barry, it does not look original.

mojorizn

The reverse particularly looks messed with but the die breaks around STATES OF are really cool!

I'm with ziggy. I don't know anything about copper but it just does not look "right".

Coinhusker1

Yes.

There's a lot of black stuck in the fine details and the fields look too clear to account for the gunk. I'd say it has been dipped or cleaned in some way. I don't collect copper or bronze issues, though, so I can't say about recoloring.

Barry

Thanks all. I thought so...

I am looking through my 2 centers to decide which one to put in my 7070. This coin has the sharpest details, but the coloring was questionable.

unoojojoe - In answer to your question, neither. I currently own it. I bought it a number of years ago. However, I am looking through some sets that I'm considering selling. This is one I haven't made up my mind yet. Feel free to talk me into it

mojo - yes, the die cracks are neat. Around the A in STATES, it looks messed with in the pic, but those are just die cracks as well, with some funny reflections in the pic.
