Congrats on your first 2-center!! Most of the ones found are dated 1864, so you got yourself a good one to start!

First coin inscribed with "In God We Trust" baby, gotta love it! That one looks like it's gonna have a real nice patina to it, just don't over clean! Kudos! Carl

A agree with the above posts. You've got yourself a good date 2 center there. They get more rare as the years go up... 1864 there were almost 20 million... 1870 there were only 861,250. Congrats!
