   That 2 cent makes me think about collecting 2 cents.

   That is what I like in a 2 cent piece. I don't like red ones. I do like good strikes. I don't like obvious bag marks. Can't tell about the luster so I can't guess the grade except to say it looks at least choice unc.

   I just started studying these 2-Cent pieces a few months ago and bought my first one around the same time. Mine is a NGC MS64RB. Comparing yours to what I have in front of me I would guess yours a MS64BN, a little to dark for RB. Maybe a shot a 65. It is a very nice looking coin! I like it - looks nice and original.

   That's what I was going to say!! The first one of these I bought raw, had been dipped in that "Care" solution and has really neat coloring. Unfortunately, BB'd when I sent it in. Still an attractive uncirc. The next one I bought is MS64 BN, NGC, and looks a lot like this one (only darker). I think it's a great design, and…

   I like it! Little spot at 8 O'Clock on the obverse that might bother some, but not me. For all the reasons Geoman gave, I say 64BN.

    This showed up today and I'm every bit as pleased as I expected to be. I tried taking my own pics but I can't do any better than the seller's images. For those that ventured a guess at the grade its NCG 64BN.
