For some reason only a shrink would understand, I was drawn to this one...FIRE AWAY!

    Not a 2 cent piece fan, but I do like this one.

    Interesting finish. It is a queer little coin.

    I like it. I was actually looking at it as a gift for my brother in law. I will find him something else.

    I think it's a nice pick up.

    Is that flat spot on the shield a strike through?

    Looks clean as a steam whistle. By that I mean it looks to be free of any distracting blemishes or bag marks.
    VERY nice👌

    Unusual lighting and color from the picture, but I think that will be a winner in hand. Nice choice I think!

    I had to agree with you just because of your avatar.

    A very nice Two Cent coin.... I have always liked these coins. I have two... well, I know where one is, the other is hiding. ;) Have had them for many, many years. You will like that coin even more once in hand. Cheers, RickO

    I like it alot. The color is warm and certainly appears to be AU or MS. Is it already holdered? Kinda reminds me of my experimental rinse Sac. Nice pickup. Peace Roy
