[QUOTE="clembo, post: 403482, member: 8033"]Many of you know by now, I have a thing for Two Cent pieces. So yesterday a type collection walks in. Some nice stuff when I hear my co-worker announce "Two Cent Alert, Two Cent Alert". Common date. 1864 Large Motto so why did I buy it? Scans don't do it justice so I'll tell you. Very even Red/Brown color. Fantastic strike. Crisp veins on the leaves, WE is sharp. Reverse has great detail in the ribbon and wreath. Shield lines are strong as well on the obverse. This coin will most likely replace the one I have for that date in my number one set. Interesting die crack to the left of the date as well. No distracting marks to be seen. Think it actually has a good shot at MS64RB. Had to share it with you all as I needed another one like another hole in the head but this one really spoke to me.
