<p>[QUOTE=&quot;lordmarcovan, post: 26667116, member: 10461&quot;]Welcome to Thursday, January 28th. We&#039;re now finished with the cents in our Virtual 7070 set, and now it is time to move on to the next denomination, which is the...</p><p><br /></p><p><b>2 Cent Piece Bronze (1864-1872).</b></p><p><br /></p><p>As I&#039;ve been doing when I lack a certain type in my current primary collection, I&#039;ll be falling back on my &quot;holey&quot; 19th century type set. This holed 1867 2c piece is the coin pinned to my corkboard in that collection.</p><p><br /></p><p><img src="https://us.v-cdn.net/6027503/uploads/editor/nk/23guq0stuiqm.jpg" class="bbCodeImage wysiwygImage" alt="" unselectable="on" /></p><p><img src="https://us.v-cdn.net/6027503/uploads/editor/b9/w85lwl0wvz8n.jpg" class="bbCodeImage wysiwygImage" alt="" unselectable="on" /></p><p><br /></p><p>I periodically have lower grade 2c pieces in my giveaway inventory, but nothing amazing.</p><p><br /></p><p>The one really nice 2c piece and the best of the type that I have owned in the past (and this was many moons ago) was this 1868 proof (PCGS PR64 RD). I was of the opinion that it was a Cameo coin, but I&#039;m pretty sure PCGS did not award the CAM designation to proof 2-cent pieces at the time it was graded.</p><p><br /></p><p>It&#039;s probably been 20 years since I sold it. All I have left are these less than ideal photos.</p><p><br /></p><p><img src="https://us.v-cdn.net/6027503/uploads/editor/l4/2a0tqlkzm0wz.jpg" class="bbCodeImage wysiwygImage" alt="" unselectable="on" /></p><p><br /></p><p><img src="https://us.v-cdn.net/6027503/uploads/editor/ao/efen5s366xrf.jpeg" class="bbCodeImage wysiwygImage" alt="" unselectable="on" /></p><p><br /></p><p><img src="https://us.v-cdn.net/6027503/uploads/editor/lr/gzcl40e9o245.jpeg" class="bbCodeImage wysiwygImage" alt="" unselectable="on" /></p><p><br /></p><p>For a while back in the early 2000s, I had an avatar picture I made from it. <a href="https://forums.collectors.com/profile/66Tbird" target="_blank" class="externalLink ProxyLink" data-proxy-href="https://forums.collectors.com/profile/66Tbird" rel="nofollow">&quot;66Tbird&quot;</a> on Collectors Universe, to whom I sold the coin, still uses that avatar to this day (though I don&#039;t believe he still owns the coin).</p><p><br /></p><p><img src="https://us.v-cdn.net/6027503/uploads/editor/vo/8ujahl0a9ea1.jpg" class="bbCodeImage wysiwygImage" alt="" unselectable="on" /></p><p><br /></p><p>If I could ever track that coin down, I&#039;d love to own it again.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
