    I have little experience grading 2 cent pieces, and I have also heard that a weak "WE" in the motto GOD WE TRUST is not a huge killer as I suppose it is raised and apparently wears quickly in circulation. Any keen experienced eyes here to suggest what this might grade? It's wonderfully toned, photos don't do it justice, it had been stored in a tiny
    satin drawstring pouch, likely for years... got it for a song in a thrift shop auction.
    Thanks,
    Bill

    the pictures are pretty fuzzy and that's not going to be conducive to accurate grading.


    I see remnants of WE, so my guess with these pictures is VF 20 for grade.

    The coin is a pinkish color and that generally means that it's been cleaned and that's not necessarily good.
