Just my 2 cents

[MrMikeJackie]

My little honey hole keeps giving it up. Faint wisper at 10 inches produces my second 2 cent piece for the summer. Another 1864. A little electrolysis and I was able to pull a date off. Thanks for looking. Mike

So many of those turn out to be 1864s. they made so many that year... always fun to find though.. Congrats!

Don't usually use electrolysis as I destroyed a buffalo nickel once but being how toasty this one was I gave it a shot. It did come out pretty well but without that original patina I don't really enjoy it as much. It actually looks like an original circulated coin.

That's a great find. I think I would be okay sacrificing the patina to have a better looking coin and be able to pull a date.
