It was in an old homemade display case (which I also now have) and part of the backing in the case was a local 1901 newspaper and some sort of advertising flyer also from 1901. The obverse was against the glass, so it is still fairly bright, but the reverse was closer to the newsprint and it, and all of the other cents in the case were dark on that side.

PennyLady, That 2 Cent proof is amazing, Bravo!
Here is my latest pickup, that QDR 1939 Jefferson Nickel. It just has some even golden toning, but the rarity in MS67 is nice. |

PennyLady, that 99 IHC is beautiful, and the 1872 2 cent is really out there. The fields look amazing. So are you putting it aside for a 2 cent set? |
