[QUOTE="kanga, post: 522645, member: 9270"]Good sharpness in the image. Don't know about the color without the original in hand. The key is getting the image to look reasonably like the coin. Hold your 1864 Large Motto 2-cent piece in good lighting next to your images and look for the closest match. I'm guessing it's the last one. (BTW, nice coin.) It looks like it has a nice wood grain appearance (if you like that sort of thing). Caused by poor mixing of the copper with the other metals it's alloyed with, I believe. And examine the date closely. Looks like a RPD (repunched date).[/QUOTE]
