It's "Tiny Two-Cent Tuesday!". Post your coins as well.....

Hello all! It's been some time since I posted a theme similar to this one. I'm calling this, "Tiny Two-Cent Tuesday!". I first came across my first two cent piece when I dug one, an 1864 "small motto". It was around 2010, and I was detecting by myself. I was so happy to just get one and didn't even know about this so-called small motto until I looked it up at home. It unfortunately has been sold. I wish I had it back now.
They were minted from 1864-1872 with an 1873 proof. So far, I've dug at least 6 with an 1869 not dug.
Here is the Wikipedia page for them. Two-cent piece (United States) - Wikipedia Please post your as well.....
Thanks again!

I got one here somewhere....

 

I've got a couple circulated type set coins....

 

MS-65 RB, Large Motto


VF-35 BN

 

The only two I own. Was going to start a set but other priorities intervened. You can get a complete set for a reasonable amount of money.

 

Both types, small and large motto.

 

One of my new arrivals. Pay no attention to the cat hair on the obverse.

 

One of my favorite coins.

 

1865, Fancy 5, PCGS UNC details, cleaned. Looks great in my 7070.


Another fancy 5, RPD.

 

I still have yet to get my hands on a small motto, or even see one in person for sale, but I'm always looking!

 

Sold one in the past. Metal detected find. If I had known you before, I would have given you a great deal.

 

If you dig up another, hit me up!

 

Maybe in the fall, if things work out, I'll try to find the spot I found it in. I'll have to do some research first since I'm not entirely sure where it was.
I remember the road but not the name.

 

LOL - Why tiny? This is 12 of the 14 I have. One day I am either going to add the other 2 to this photo - or sell the 3 extra ones I have.
