    MS63BN with a nice die break at 7/8 o'clock on the reverse. Cool coin!

    coppercoins certifiably unstable

    That's not a die break...it's a fiber sitting on the coin in the photo.

    The areas that usually receive first wear aren't very clear in the photo, so it's hard to tell for sure whether the coin is a nice AU58 or whether it's MS63BN...but it's one of the two.

    Knowing the OP like I do, I am going to say its a MS63RB. He cherrypicked it for one of the varieties that I know nothing about.

    Nohope to 2 cent pieces is like coppercoins to Lincoilns gang. He is good..

    The coin appears to have a soft strike which is sort of uncharacteristic of the 1864 Two Cent pieces, so it makes it somewhat difficult to grade! Heck, I will take a stab it anyways! Okay, it is an 1864 "Large Motto" Two Cent in MS-62 Red/Brown which appears to have Strike Doubling that some may call Longacre Doubling on the Reverse and the Obverse. Now the Date is something all together! It appears that there maybe some Strike Doubling but also some Repunching. It is really hard to tell without a super nice close-up of the Date.
