DDF- I hope you can scratch it off too!! At first I thought I had a shield nickel and then I saw the reverse and dropped the coin back on the ground!! I turned my machine off and walked off with it and a smile!!!

The 2 cent piece is such a cool oddball coin. They hated them where I live out West. I have found hundreds of Indian Head cents, but only three 2 cent coins.

Congrats on that lil' sweetie!
