<p>[QUOTE="PennyGuy, post: 1129353, member: 17502"]I enlarged the sellers picture, the area you mention does show damage to the denticles and rim, that damage and the color of the surface don't match. I would expect to see a coin with that type of damage more of a brown (BN) color than full red (RD). Looked at the Great Southern Coins link you provided, please be aware that that seller is well known for manipulated images of the coins they sell. I mention this just to make sure you know that the coin in-hand will not match their pictures.</p><p><br /></p><p>Looked through the current offerings on eBay, this one popped out at me. Significantly more money, but it is a striking coin to my eye.</p><p><a href="http://cgi.ebay.com/1864-Two-Cent-2c-Gorgeous-Gem-/290528415250?pt=Coins_US_Individual&hash=item43a4d7ce12" target="_blank" class="externalLink ProxyLink" data-proxy-href="http://cgi.ebay.com/1864-Two-Cent-2c-Gorgeous-Gem-/290528415250?pt=Coins_US_Individual&hash=item43a4d7ce12" rel="nofollow">http://cgi.ebay.com/1864-Two-Cent-2c-Gorgeous-Gem-/290528415250?pt=Coins_US_Individual&hash=item43a4d7ce12</a></p><p><br /></p><p>This one is nice as well, it is Brown, but seems priced fairly.</p><p><a href="http://cgi.ebay.com/1864-Large-Motto-Two-Cent-Piece-NGC-MS63-MS-63-BN-/310285361254?pt=Coins_US_Individual&hash=item483e72e066" target="_blank" class="externalLink ProxyLink" data-proxy-href="http://cgi.ebay.com/1864-Large-Motto-Two-Cent-Piece-NGC-MS63-MS-63-BN-/310285361254?pt=Coins_US_Individual&hash=item483e72e066" rel="nofollow">http://cgi.ebay.com/1864-Large-Motto-Two-Cent-Piece-NGC-MS63-MS-63-BN-/310285361254?pt=Coins_US_Individual&hash=item483e72e066</a></p><p><br /></p><p>This one caught my eye, nice clean surfaces, a good representative of the two cent series.
