The Two Cent Pieces from 1873 were produced only as Proofs and the pictured coin does not look like a Proof or a genuine example. Better pictures might make me think differently, but it’s highly unlikely.

Should i take it out of its case

Was thinking about making a charm and give it as a present. Get another one and making a pair of earings. 

The coin seems to be in great con the scratches are from my phone will try and take better photos if you think more research is necessary.

Ok thanks for the reply but my 9yr old was rolling up her penny stash and needed a few extra pennys to make a 50c roll. Seems she left one because of the size difference.lol my luck that million doller coin got traded in for candy.lol hope i didnt waist any of your time.  Im left with a 2cent penny from 1873 not sure how to take photo but if you think it mite be worth looking into i could probably figure it out

I apologize in advance for my ignorance in my clumsiness in my computer skills. And in coins. Not even sure im on the right place. I just had a few questions about coins i am absolutely ignorant about older coins. Ive tried the interweb with no luck just alot of frustration lol. To get to the point, i was recently going through a drawer that was my late mothers and found a few odd looking coins and befor tossing them into my junk drawer ill give it a final shot at researching them just in the off chance "well you get the idea". Dont even know how to begin. I have a couple 1920-29 pennys a 1873 2 cent a handfull of 1930s pennys. If any one can give me any info our need more info be much greatfull.
