JimR Pillar of the Community United States 1490 Posts	Posted 06/30/2010 2:56 pm Nice! XF45 with a shot at AU50 with coin in hand and depending on luster. However the small amount of wear on the horizontal shield lines lead me to think this is XF Edited by JimR 06/30/2010 2:57 pm Report this Post to the Staff
vermontensium Moderator United States 16681 Posts	Posted 06/30/2010 3:02 pm I see what looks like luster in the protected areas. This coin definitely exhibits wear albeit light. I would also be inclined to call XF45. Nice Moe. swcoin.ecrater.com Report this Post to the Staff

Dcreek1968 Valued Member United States 314 Posts	Posted 07/01/2010 09:21 am I'll go with XF40 or 45. Obverse shows some wear on the leaaves and lines. What a nice 2 center though. Great acquisition. Report this Post to the Staff
nohope587 Pillar of the Community United States 5953 Posts	Posted 07/03/2010 7:16 pm Some things you might want to know about your 2 Cent. Its a Barber 2 Cent not a Longacre one. In 1870 when Barber took over from Longacre he changed the master Hub design slightly. Coins using both the 1869 and 1870 Hubs were struck in 1870 and 1871. Coins struck with the working dies hubbed from the 1870 modified master hub generally have a better strike than those from the 69. So to make XF45/AU50 I would expect a little more detail to be remaining. Especially around the leaves. The arrow heads should have a distinct separation between the head and shaft. I would go with the XF40 crowd Report this Post to the Staff
