It looks like a nice one, great detail on it!!! It looks very nice..
Was this a recent purchase?

 

yep. Just received today.

 

Congrats, it is one of the nicest ones I've seen! You must be proud!

 

Lacquered? Maybe just oiled? Very nice details! Check the cherry-pickers guide for varieties.

 

Thats a very nice 2 cent!!!!!

 

I'm sorry to say my 1st thought was something doesn't look right , don't get me wrong it's has nice details but it looks like something was done to the surface , though it may just be the picture .

It looks corroded and artificially toned to me But has amazing details! :thumb:

 

Unless it's the lighting?

 

Thanks for the comments. Here are some additional pics with less direct lighting. I know the coin isn't corroded or cleaned, but I wouldn't be surprised if it was dipped.

 

The coin looks original to me..
Nice find, and it'll look great next to all that gold you have

 

Really nice looking 1865. Absent any date re-cuts or reverse die cracks not showing in the pics my first guess would be a 4C. We need to hear from others on this.

Well done :thumb:

 

Looks original to me and I own a few.

Nice coin!

 

2nd set of pictures make it look much nicer. Nice coin.

 

Might have had an old cleaning and looks retoned (light Dellars?). Regardless a very attractive coin.

 

Thanks for the comments! Anyone want to take a crack at a grade?

 

There are some small contact marks visible, as from what I can see, some mint luster left, and the motto, and other lettering of the coin, are in good detail, and are very clear
The shield is in great condition!
I've never seen one of these graded, and never seen one so nice before
So first instinct is choice uncriculated...
But I am thinking more along the lines of AU58 at a minimum, and MS62 being a max, maybe on a good day

 

Yup, she's a beaut alright; nice score!

I like it I wish I could grade it but just haven't seen a enough this good. Very nice coin. Ice

 

I agree with Tmoney. Maybe AU 58 to low MS if they consider it has wear on WE on the obverse above the shield.
