Weird day - nabbed my first 2 cent piece

[Ken C]

What a weird and wild day. Dug almost all day with my buddy Rob. I locked my keys in the Jeep in the middle of a farm field, the permission owners were awesome. They made me coffee and gave me peanut butter tastycakes while I waited for roadside assistance. He said it was the first time he had to walk into a farm field to unlock a car lol. I dug my first 2 cent price (1865) at my colonial home permission later in the day along with a really nice thimble, button and a Buffalo nickel. I think the large copper is a KG, but having a rough time figuring out which one.

Anyone have any thoughts on this one? Head, hair and bust seem to say KG to me.

Congrats on the 2 center! That has always been a fear of mine to lock my keys in the car and then having to call my wife to come and help me out.

Congrats on the 2 cents!

Roller coaster day! How'd that 2 cent clean up? How'd your friend make out? :thumbsup02:

Nice hunt Ken. Any hunt where you are served peanut butter tasty cakes is a good hunt ;) That two-center should clean up well. The copper does look like a KG.

Thanks all!

Some gently cleaning with a wet toothbrush. Really nice detail left.

Congrats on your first 2 Cent Piece and the tastycakes! :thumbsup01:

We would love to see the thimble, button and Buffalo Nickel too. The 2 Cent Piece cleaned up well. Nice detail on it still.

:congrats:

Man that must bummed you out with the keys, musta been some choice words that would make a sailor blush, lol! The 2 Center cleaned up nice. WTG on the KG as well.

Great 2-center Ken :cheering:congrats on your first sir ! the coper looks to have an unusual lower bust profile unless that's just dirt and lighting playing with it .

Tony, here's the thimble and button. The button is big and the shank was in good shape. It was also the first thimble I ever found not crushed.

Thanks! I've been waiting to dig one of those. Yes, the bust was odd to me too. I found some CT copper variations that had a bust that kind of looked like that, but it was too iffy. I tried to clean it some and lost detail :( so it goes in the "no clue" box. However, I did clean some other "no clue" coins from early this year at the same time and found a NJ copper in the bunch so not a total loss lol.
