[QUOTE="clembo, post: 623123, member: 8033"]Having collected a few Two Cent Pieces in my life I'll share my observations. May not find them in any books it's just me. 1867 examples with good strikes are not all that common. Hence the weak WE. Reverse? Good chance it was a grease filled die. I have several examples of most "common" years that would fit the bill. Not that many people really pay attention to strikes and "patterns" on these coins. For a comparison lets take the 1923-S Lincoln Cent. Hey, I don't even collect them but finding good strikes is a problem. Just look at retail when one jumps from a VF to an XF and up from there. I rarely buy Two Cent Pieces anymore actually but if I see an 1867 in VF or better with a good, even strike on both sides I'll buy it when the price is right. The seller here does not have an error. He has a typical 1867.[/QUOTE]
