BTW with this coin there's no such thing as BN (or RD or RB). It's copper/nickel and they don't get those designations. Same with the 1859-1864 IHC's. |

Thanks for all the opinions. I think this is a really nice example, hard to find these mark free with an even tone. Seems like the consensus that since it may be a lackluster example, it shouldnt be considered for type?

I tend to like all of these. I prefer ones that are toned a little more than this one.
If this received a 64-65 I wouldn't be surprised. I think it is really a slider based on some of the Rev toning at 5-6 o'clock.

Same with the 1859-1864 IHC's. 2 cent coppers were made out of bronze (95% copper 5% tin and zinc) and receive the color designations.  IN NECESSARIIS UNITAS - IN DUBIIS LIBERTAS - IN OMNIBUS CARITAS THE MAN IN THE ARENA, Theodore Roosevelt at the Sorbonne Paris on April 23, 1910: " It is not the critic who counts; not the man who points out how the strong man stumbles or where the doer of deeds could have done better. The credit belongs to the man who is actually in the arena, whose face is marred by dust and sweat and blood, who strives valiantly, who errs and comes up short again and again, because there is no effort without error or shortcoming, but who knows the great enthusiasms, the great devotions, who spends himself in a worthy cause; who, at the best, knows, in the end, the triumph of high achievement, and who, at the worst, if he fails, at least he fails while daring greatly, so that his place shall never be with those cold and timid souls who knew neither victory nor defeat."

I agree with Coinfrog. It actually looks just like my 1865 MS65BN!   |

That's a nice one Jon! I added this one to my set. That was the last piece I needed to complete my set. I will upgrade the no motto Seated quarter down the line when I find a nice MS example. Thanks for all the help! |

Thanks Ns! It was a fun set and I'm fortunate to have finished it quickly, but I am glad the hunt is over. I think my wallet is too!
