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!
 

Yes! Congrats! That is one of my favorite coins!

Nice!
 

Congrats! Very nice date. Found 7 last year, 6 dated 1864 and one 1865. Nice to knock something off the bucket list.
