1864 2 CENT PIECE.

[Garabaldi]

My first two cent piece, but its in poor condition. I managed to get a date off it. I wonder if its the small motto or large motto. Small is rare. You can see part of the "IN GOD WE TRUST" hmmm. Could be a rare coin.

Thats surprising, the 2 centers are usually in great shape. In part due to their composition. Looks like yours has had some trouble with the fire or possibly pesticides or herbicides. Where did you find it? Nice dig by the way. They are difficult to get and the small motto would be great, but that too is hard to see in my opinion. jgas

I found it where there would be pesticides and herbicides, so I would guess thats why its in such poor shape. Non the less. I am glad I can identify it and I appreciate the historical value.
Thanks for all the comments.

I love the 2 cent piece, they are a great find. One of my first finds was a 2 cent piece. It's cool you found one, I don't think it should matter what you find or its condition, its the thrill of finding it that counts. Awesome silver too.

Keep @ It and HH!!

That coin is worth at least 2 cents! Congrats. I like finding the 2 centers as well. They don't turn up every day.

Congrats on the two center. I have only found one and it was in such bad shape. Mine looks like it tangled with a train or trolley on the tracks. I was sure happy to at least get a date off of it though. They are such neat coins and to be honest I didn't even know there were such things till I found one. I found it just before I found my first large cent and I was hoping it was a large cent when it came out of the ground. Glad it gave you a date, some satisfaction in that.

HH, Don
