nohope587 Pillar of the Community United States 5953 Posts	Posted 02/08/2007 2:12 pm Tpatna wants to get into the world of 2 cent coins. Here is potentially his first offering. I have assigned a grade already but lets see what the forum thinks. Extra Kudos to anyone who gets the correct attribution. Have fun http://www.coincommunity.org/galler...DSC02566.jpg http://www.coincommunity.org/galler...DSC02567.jpg Report this Post to the Staff

Prethen Pillar of the Community United States 3234 Posts	Posted 02/08/2007 3:22 pm Hmmmm...tricky. Based on the shield horizontal lines, I'd have to say Choice VF. Report this Post to the Staff
tights24 Pillar of the Community United States 2254 Posts	Posted 02/08/2007 4:38 pm I would say VG for the obverse, and the reverse looks like it could almost be XF. But since the "WE" seems to be the main factor here, I would only say a net of F-12 Report this Post to the Staff
Ken_3567 Pillar of the Community United States 651 Posts	Posted 02/08/2007 10:28 pm If the "WE" was there I'd give it a low XF but since it isn't I'kk drop a grade and say VF20 Report this Post to the Staff

nohope587 Pillar of the Community United States 5953 Posts	Posted 02/10/2007 8:21 pm TLS5933 was the closest I have placed this VG10 no higher. Grading standards have changed since I started playing with 2 Cents most coins that would have graded G have now become VG or F. For the coin to make F at least 50% of the W and E must be showing and the bow on the Wheat should be Clearly defined. 2 Cents are well known for weak strikes but this one is not a weak strike its just worn the 'In GOD' and Trust" are sharp. The right Arrow shaft has almost worn to the leaves. The Horizontal and Vertical lines on the shield are some of the lowest points on the coin so even in F12 they should all be separated.

TLS5933 Pillar of the Community United States 1703 Posts	Posted 02/10/2007 9:16 pm Its too bad the "WE" always wore of so quickly on thes coins as the rest can look AU and still be a VG coin. I think the wear on the "WE" is over evaluated. Report this Post to the Staff
