I stopped at my favorite coin store on the way back from the coin show Saturday and went through the junk foreign bin. I found an 1864 American 2 cent piece. The reverse you can only make out the wreath and the 2. the obverse you can see the outline of the shield and the date 1864. It isn't bent or damaged but assume this would still be considered a cull?

If you can read the date and it's not bent it is NOT a cull.

A cull is leagues below what you have! Good pickup!

Post pictures of both sides and people here can give you a ball park grade.

AG3 is usually a good guess based on our description.

That's awesome! You would be surprised how many people don't know there ever was such a thing as a 2 cent coin.
