I got the coin today that I posted the other day. The seller posted dark photos for listing but I love the coin though. I noticed it has a die crack through and around the 'united states of' Does this devalue the coin? Most people graded this coin au-55 to ms64RB. I was thinking 62rb but not sure. Here is original posting on ebay.

62 Brown. The early Two Cents suffered from cracked dies and clashes very early in the minting process. It's actually hard to find a Two Cent without them.

But having them does not devalue the coin.

Die cracks do not devalue a coin.

Die cracks add character to a coin.

looks very nice. I don't see any rub - looks unc. 62bn based on these pics. the prior pics showed more red. it could have toned further brown, or the lighting is off in your pics. Does it look redder than these pics? more than 5% red on each side?

the horizontal lines in the shield appear to have some disturbance, and there is a hard hit on the lower vertical lines 2 and 3. thst's the reason why I think it is 62.

congrats.
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."
