[QUOTE="Treashunt, post: 207815, member: 6763"]Robert: The following is a prejudiced reply, but I really like the 2 cent piece. The 1864 Small Motto is tough, but obtainable. (I have two: a G+ and a VG-10) any thing above that grade is very difficult to find. I rarely see them, and it is fun to find one when you do, really tough coin, a lot tougher than the current prices. The 1872 is also very tough, I have only seen two in the last few years, a VG-10 that I got in 1999, and should be a Fine, except that the WE is gone. The other is a PCGS XF-45, really original, and I was able to get it last month after negotiating with the dealer for months. He originally wanted almost unc money-- I told him to keep it. Finally got it below bid. I think that it was a steal. The 1872 is way underpriced at current levels, and it is time for the set to really move, it just needs a bit of a push by collecotrs and these prices will seem very cheap. Good luck with the set. Maybe (a big maybe) someday I'll have an 1873, but I doubt it.[/QUOTE]
