Just HAD to find something old. So I hit the corn field with Bill for 2 hours today trudging thru the wet rows of corn and managed a couple small flat buttons, piece of a cufflink, a small buck shot, and this pristine 1864 2 cent piece! It's been a couple years since I found one of these! 20170806_092907.jpg20170806_092846.jpg20170806_092831.jpg

Man your not kidding that's close to mint I got one like that same year too. Congrats brother that's one nice old coin ...
 

That is about as "pristine" and you could ever hope to find a copper! That is a beautiful piece and I love the green look! Thanks for sharing and congrats! That is still one on my bucket list...
 

Man you are on fire this year. Must have finished your construction project and now have time to play. Great digs
 

Wow, what a nice coin---------------------never found one in all my years. You did good.

Yowza! Once in a long while a coin comes out in the most amazing condition, and today is your day. That's a tough enough coin to find at all, let alone in that condition. Congrats dude!
 

youze lucky youze didn't wind up on a "slab" after seein' that MEGA DEUCE in yo hand
:notworthy: :occasion18: :icon_thumleft::icon_thumright: :icon_thumleft::icon_thumright:

now calm down & check---- large or small motto.
 

JEEZ! That's some pretty looking copper, congrats! If a person is wanting to find a 2 centre they'd be wishing it was one like yours that's for sure.
 

Thank you!

Wow beautiful condition nice buttons
thanks joe!

Pristine??? There has to be a stronger word to describe that thing.

Congrats!
thank you I've done a couple nice ones before but this one is the best

They don't come out much better than that, not even close.
thanks a lot I was surprised myself

Nice finds. That 2 center is a beauty. Congrats.
thanks Mike made my month!

Well you certainly found something old.:headbang:

I'm embarrassed to post a pic of my 2-center; if I did it would be in 'What is it?'
Yours is fantastic !!

Congratualtions on the beautiful two cent piece! :occasion14:
thanks Professor, I only found one coin today and I'm quite pleased with it!

Gorgeous! Mine came out looking like crap. It this is superb! I had to check to see if it was a small motto variant but it looks like it's a large motto. Awesome score!!

Beautiful 2 center, I think they are one of the prettiest designed coins, congrats on it and your other nice finds

Wow. That thing looks like it was just minted! Congrats.
thank you, I'm very happy wirh it!

That marvelous example of vintage US coinage is why us crazies "trudge" through rows of corn and combat skeeters and sweat buckets!:headbang: That one I reckon has gone very close to the top of your best recovered coins list. Congrats on a real beauty.:icon_salut:
thanks a lot, I went there this morning hoping to just find maybe a button or two perhaps maybe a large cent, I was not expecting this!
 

wow, totally awesome coin, can't believe how beautiful it is. love the cuff link too
thanks a lot it was a pretty good day even though it was tough working through the corn stalks!

Long been one of my favorite coins.
Thanks Gary, mine too!

That is perhaps the finest example I have ever seen pulled from the ground. Dang that is a beautiful coin. Congrats on all the finds but that 2 cent piece is just insane.
