Rmarshall292 New Member United States 6 Posts	Posted 01/31/2012 4:37 pm The first coin appears to be a man facing left with a leaf ring around his head in a suit of armor. I cannot make out the back. EDIT: back image on the first coin was upside down I think, it appears to be a lady with legs spread maybe with a dress on. FRONT BACK This appears to be a old US 2 cent coin from the 1800s. What I dont understand is that it appears to be a misprint of some kind on the back and partially on the left. its the same picture just a different copper color than the original. also there is no date or "in god we trust on it" even with a magnifying glass I could not make out anything, its unusual since the "United States of America" "2 Cents" is very clearly visible on the back. if you could help me to identify these 2 coins that would be excellent! and the worth on this US 2 cent coin FRONT BACK Identified - moved to Classic US coins forum - Sap Edited by Rmarshall292 01/31/2012 5:20 pm Report this Post to the Staff

svslav Pillar of the Community United States 2605 Posts	Posted 01/31/2012 6:27 pm The Man on the obverse is the king of Great Britain George II, and the lady on the reverse is Britannia. But the legend appears to deviate from British coins, so it's either an evasion piece or US colonial, but I'm not familiar with those. Welcome to the forum, by the way!

Rmarshall292 New Member United States 6 Posts	Posted 01/31/2012 7:00 pm taking a second glance its a bit different than the 1774, plus on the face on the right hand side mine has a "C:" at the end.. hmmmm still trying to get to the bottom of this Report this Post to the Staff
nohope587 Pillar of the Community United States 5953 Posts	Posted 01/31/2012 7:18 pm Its not unusual for a t cent to wear more on one side than the other the Motto is high relief compared to any other of the features and is usually the fist to go. Better pictures could narrow down the date. Its also fairly common to have an improper alloy mixture which cases whats called a wood grain effect ie. a two tone coin. Or it might just be discolored by corrosion. Report this Post to the Staff
Rmarshall292 New Member United States 6 Posts	Posted 01/31/2012 7:30 pm so the 2 cent in current condition may not be worth much? Report this Post to the Staff
