I'm still leaning towards a proof coin. :thinkingabout: I have never seen a normal production coin come in that sharp in all areas. Everytime I look at it, it still surprises me on how deep and even that strike is :shocked04: :shocked04:

Maybe someday I will find one too.

I really hope you do. It was quite exciting when I realized what it was. :smitten:

i wish all the non-silver coins were made of bronze like them 2 cent coins .

Me too. They sure hold up well and develop such a nice patina.

Your just rifling through my wish list :shocked04: :crying02:

You have quite the wish list. Most of what you have on there I dare not think about digging up. lol
If I could possibly find two more items on your list I'd be one very, very happy camper.

I have never seen a normal production coin come in that sharp in all areas.

Thanks again George. Once I cleaned away all the dirt, I was simply shocked at how much detail was remaining on this coin.
My first LC was in terrible shape. So digging such a nice example of my first 2 Cent Piece is very exciting. :yes:

mg: Congrats on one heck-of-a-fantastic coin Joe!!! How exciting!!! :happydance01: It's in such good condition and the year is so special too, being the end of CW.

So have you taken it to a dealer to inquire about George's suspicion that it's a proof?

Actually I didn't think of doing that. I need to pick up more coin flips soon, so when I stop in to buy those, I'll bring the coin too. thumbsup01

Thanks again everyone and thank you to the staff for the banner votes.

I can't say anything that has not already been said but that is probably the nicest coin that I have ever seen of the 2 cent type. Totally awesome!!!
