    Normally, as many of you know, I collect primarily Silver coins. However, from time to time, I pick up a nice type coin that is different from my normal collecting milieu. I decided to buy this 2 cent piece, that is a PCGS MS 64 BN. Liked the color and the toning, that is partially red, yellow, and some little bits of blue. Thought it was a nice coin for a reasonable price, and a welcome change from my normal Large Silver obsessions: The marks on the holder, not the coin--fingerprints.

    Strong coin. You did well, for venturing outside your comfort zone. :)

    I don't own one of these, but I keep hoping one will show up that meets my criteria.

    The coin in my avatar is quite similar (same date!). Sent to PCGS and they returned it Uncirculated Details: Questionable Color. Very bummed.

    I like 2 centers as well. None of mine are in the best grade but its nice to have something from the Civil War era.
