Rediscovering my youth

I continue to find goodies that I culled from coin rolls in 1959-1963 outside a Manhattan bank in my neighborhood in Brooklyn. This one was all alone in a small manila envelope. It has lost a little of its brightness but I wanted to get some input. From what I have learned on CU, it appears to be an 1865 2c plain 5. Peace Roy

Nice, get it out of the Manila now. I'll defer to the experts now.

Yes, no more envelope. I put it in a 2x2 for now. Peace Roy

Hell Yeah!
What kind of a roll did you find it in? I'm guessing quarters.

I really don't remember the particular find. I would go thru several rolls of coins during recess. I was actually thrown out of that bank because I was not a customer. I told my parents and they helped me open a passbook savings account with $5 bucks. I'd present my booklet make a withdrawal in coin, refill the rolls and redeposit them and go back to class.

That is a nice old two cent piece.... I am surprised you found it roll searching... must have been in quarter rolls?
