Yep the second picture looks a lot nicer , I won't venture a grade as I always grade 2 cent pieces too low , When Clembo gives a grade I'll just agree to that grade . It is a keeper dipped or not . rzage
AU50 a 53 on a good day if you had it slabbed. Wear on the banner and leaves leads to that conclusion. E in WE is a bit mushy but not uncommon for the series. Wreath shows noticable wear as well. Seems to be a pretty good strike though as the shield lines are very strong. I've seen ugly Two Cent Pieces but never seen one I didn't like. I really like this one. A nice pickup for your collection.
Here's my grade , sorry for plagerism Clembo . AU50 a 53 on a good day if you had it slabbed. Wear on the banner and leaves leads to that conclusion. E in WE is a bit mushy but not uncommon for the series. rzage
