Nice two cent piece! [Not a shield nickel!]
No one here will be fooled by a claim of them already having been certified. These coins are clearly just damaged, the slightest knowledge of the...

Definitely a large date, but if you are convinced then you should have it attributed at one of the major third party graders.
If I read correctly, plus another $10 each to check for varieties and also conservation!

Normal close AM cent.
Separate names with a comma.
