Another shield nickel.....Nope!

Today i hit oak park again! The area that i was gridding yesterday. No silver for me today in fact all i got was five cents. Three of the five were memorial pennies.
The other two cents was what i thought was a shield nickel at first.
But then i thought the numbers were wrong and the tone was wrong and it seems bigger than a nickel.
Here's pics of the 1868 two cent piece that came out of my favorite park today.
:grin:

Yes this is another first. But trying to clean it up made it look worse. NO more cleaning for me. Toothbrush and soap only!
 
You're really on a hot streak, RaZR! Two seated dimes and now a two-cent piece! That is an awesome coin, congrats on another successful hunt!
 
:smitten: :clapping: :peace:
Oh my... she's a beauty. I love the 2 Cent pieces that surface from time to time.
Well done... very well done. |:confused:)
 
One of the toughest coins to clean right there.. Grads on another first !! :happydance01: :happydance01: :happydance01:
 
:clapping: Great find!!! It's in such great shape!!! |:cheering: I've only found one and it's so grungy all you can see is 2 cents and barely the date (1865)
