Definitely not the same coin you bid on. The coin you bid on WAS a 68. The coin you received is a 66 and definitely much better than the coin you bid on. (Might check his other auctions and see if possibly you got someone elses coin.) The typical 1868 does have a different 6 than the 1866. I don't know if there is more than one date font used that year. There is often a change in the font from one year to the next on 19th century coins. (Having a set of photo of the different date digits used each year is often useful in Counterfeit Detection.)

Also note that the date logotype on the 1868 is more strongly curved than that of the 1866 logotype. (On the Two Cent Pieces the dates were punched into the die using a four digit punch not individual punches.)


I have learned in the short time I've been on this forum that when Conder101 speaks, we all should listen.



Thank you for your information! This is what makes this Forum the best!

Listening is fine, but don't just accept what I say blindly, sometimes I am wrong or I miss something. As with anything else, when someone tells you something compare it to what you all ready know and see if it makes sense. If what you are told is in conflict with what you already know, ask questions and find out which version is correct. That's why I know what I do, I always question and look for errors in presented data. (I thank my parents for teaching me this philosophy.)
