RWB Posted March 9, 2022 Share Posted March 9, 2022 Well, that one has had its "two cents-worth" of circulation. Imagine how many people handled it to cause that much wear.... Rummy13 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Coinbuf Posted March 9, 2022 Share Posted March 9, 2022 A bit dinged up, but I like the 2 cent coins; one of the series that I would like to put together if I get the time someday. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rummy13 Posted March 9, 2022 Author Share Posted March 9, 2022 Dad seems to have just got coins he liked, no rhyme or rhythm or follow through on anything. I can see where he thought something might be worth something someday, (1976 proof sets, 1999 proof sets), but other I think he got just to say I have a coin. This is one of the I have a coin.

The Neophyte Numismatist Posted March 9, 2022 Share Posted March 9, 2022 As others have said, that coin has seen some pretty heavy circulation. 1864 is the year before the Civil War ended, the year first submarine was used by the US Confederate Army to sink the USS Housatonic, the year the Heineken brewery was founded, ... I am sure this coin could tell you some great stories if you could teach it to talk. RonnieR131 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
