grnwavdav Valued Member United States 139 Posts	Posted 05/30/2016 02:24 am I picked this guy at a local coin show last weekend. The repunching is the strongest and most wide example I have found. It practically jumped out at me and is quite visible to the naked eye. I mostly look for Lincoln Cent varieties but I may start looking over 2 Cent pieces a little more now.

westcoin Pillar of the Community United States 9792 Posts	Posted 05/30/2016 03:59 am The Two Cent series is a rabbit hole of varieties, there are around 30-40 RPDs in 1864 & 1865 alone. You will want Kevin Flynn's Authoritative guide to Two Cent Pieces, and if you can find them (both now out of print) Frank Leone's Longacre's Two Cent Piece and his 1864 Two Cent Attribution Guide either book runs around $50+ when they come available.

grnwavdav Valued Member United States 139 Posts	Posted 05/31/2016 10:55 pm I'm not sure if I did or not. I don't purchase them often so I'm not familiar with their market value. But I paid $55 and the coin is probably high AU. Edited by grnwavdav 05/31/2016 10:58 pm Report this Post to the Staff
