[QUOTE="PennyGuy, post: 922930, member: 17502"]Looks like a 5 Obverse and a G reverse die marriage per Flynn's book "The Two Cent Piece and Varieties" I copied your pics into another application and enlarged then to help me see them better. The surfaces will be the key to a good grade. I cannot tell if they are original or an old cleaning that is retoning from the pics. Quite typical of any picture. I am seeing very little if any real wear, so depending on the graders opinion of the surfaces I'd go as high as a MS 64 BN. That said, is there any evidence of die cracks from the lower left side of the right arrow shart to the border at the right of the date? or, from the border through the final T of TRUST? On the reverse a rim break occurs over the center of A in STATES. Short breaks from the border to D and to the left top of the final S of STATES. And finally any recutting seen on the letters S OF AMERICA ? The 2 and the reverse ribbon ends may also show some recutting.[/QUOTE]
