This is my first two cent piece. If you have seen any of my other coins from this old home site the condition of this is surprising to say the least. I added these from my phone hopefully they don't look as obscure a they did on the attachment page if so I'll fix later.

I know the TS on the word cents has a little tilt normally. But I think yours has a lot more tilt on it than normal.

nice find

I'll try and get a better picture of the "we" I couldn't tell to easily.

That's the thing. Other coins I get out of here are almost unrecognizable (granted one was a 1767) but to still have the"we" and the grooves blows my mind. This was in the brick and plaster filled soil so that might have helped, but it was still totally covered in dirt.

Unfortunately it is the large motto, just found a good comparative image. The leaf to the right of the "we" has the stem in the small motto. Oh well
