  KM2187, copper. Two-year type. (They also struck one in 1891). Second edition catalogs it at $3.00 in UNC.
  
  Nice coin. I know they made 29 million of 'em, but catalog still seems ridiculously low, considering it's a 119-year-old UNC coin (or a nice slider at the very least).
  
  

  Collector since 1976. On the CU forums here since 2001.

  While those coins are commonly encountered they're actually a bit tougher with red color remaining. Actually you did OK!
