I have three.

1864 Large Motto



1864 Small Motto



And this 1870 is left over from set I put together over 40 years ago. A dealer told me that forming a set of these coins in EF was "almost impossible," and I set out to prove him wrong. It was during a period when the price of coins was so high that I could barely afford them. I needed to find something that was not effected by the "sick" coin market. I never could find a "no problem" 1872 in EF, and the 1873 was beyond my price range.

 

I thought I had some nice two cent examples until I saw @ldhair and @johnmilton examples. Those are some spectacular coins, fellows.

 

I ask Bowers and Merena to help me build a nice set of these. That was about 25 years ago. They were kind but said they could not help. Not much supply and many wanting to do the same. I never built the set but did pick up a few nice ones.

 

Our Nation's first coin to include the motto "In God We Trust". Here's mine:

 

Here's a couple of '65s. Nothing too special. One plain 5 and 1 Fancy 5.

 

Here is my set in and old Capital holder from 30 years ago.

 

1864 Two Cent Piece 2cp -- Type Coin Doubled 2

 

A few years ago I collected one of each date.

 

I am sooo jealous! Apparently you all have left none for me! Now, it's true I do have two of them, but not as nice as what I've seen here. Although my only criteria is being able to read the whole motto, including the WE which is the first to wear down.

 

I'll take them all. Mine would look like the zincoln of the 2 cent coin. Not near as good as all of yours, thanks for sharing them.

 

Solomente uno para mi.........

 

have a few, all error coins

 

Sorry late to the party.

 

That's okay @Lem E . Nice coin by the way !

 

How do you all get such nice coins? Most two cent coins I've seen I reject because the WE in the motto is virtually nonexistent. I once went through almost a hundred such coins and found only two that were acceptable.
