Incredible details on 2 cent piece from 1864

[Turtleman]

Folks,
I posted this coin with my other coin finds from yesterday at http://forum.treasurenet.com/index.php/topic,348917.0.html. If you look at those pixs you'll notice that this 2 center qualifies as today's find as I could barely make out that it was a 2 center yesterday. The dirt sort of flaked away this afternoon (some is still clinging to the coin especially on the obverse) and the details are incredible. Everything is bold and the green patina is beautiful. I am quite confident that this is the large motto variety.
Thought you might like to see the coin up close (unfortunately I only have a scanner and it does not do the coin justice). I see only one flaw on the coin; at 8 o'clock on the obverse the patina has a pin hole chip at the edge of the coin.
HH,
T-man

Awesome coin T-man. I found one a few years ago with the same amount of patina but a little less detail.

One of my favorites.

Congrats

Beautiful patina and condition on that coin! I agree its the large motto type. I found my first two center a couple of weeks back, and though it was in toasted condition, it is a treasured find nonetheless.
