Message:: [QUOTE="KBBPLL, post: 25700278, member: 104064"]I'm enjoying my prize from the recent [USER=10461]@lordmarcovan[/USER] giveaway. Since that thread is locked, I thought I would post a separate one. New photos out of the 2x2 - muted natural light[ATTACH=full]1643115[/ATTACH] Direct sun[ATTACH=full]1643116[/ATTACH] When I get a new coin, I enjoy exploring it in detail. I had no clue about 2c pieces previously (and still don't). This one is the more common Large Motto type, and they minted 19,847,500 of them total. At first it seemed like it had a weak N in Cents, and I found another one like it on PCGS. But when I removed it from the 2x2, the N seems normal. The date position wasn't a match for the PCGS one either. Speaking of which, I was impressed with the number of different date positions for this year. There must be at least half a dozen of them. I also thought I could see a slight RPD in the 1, but now I think it's just coincidental PMD. There is a tripled date variety, but again it's a different date position. There are a ton of images of these on PCGS. Probably because it's the most common choice for a registry type set. I noted a fun die crack on the reverse from the rim through the C over to the I. I found one other on PCGS with the same crack, but in a later die state. I enjoy matching up a die pair, even if I have no clue which one it is if it's been documented. I also noted odd missing denticles in the same place on both sides and what seems like a rim cud or folded over fin. I'm thinking something was not aligned properly with the dies or the planchet.
