    If you can see the motto of In God we trust look to see if the D in God and the T in trust are touching the center fold of the ribbon

    You can check your 1864 2 Cent piece for the large or small variety by looking at the pictures on page 123 of your Red Book. (A Guide Book of United States Coins by R.S. Yeoman)

    LOL! XD

    Well i think my two cent piece is the large date due to the thickness that i can see, can't see the ribbon parts it is too corroded.
    And no It's not a 21 walker unforunately it is a 23 :( but hey i've never had a walker before anyways so i'm still happy :D

    I'd like to see some individual photos of the obverse and reverse of some of those Morgans. You never know what varieties might turn up.
