My awesome coin, dug yesterday.

First time i ever seen anyone get excited over a 2 cent piece find?

I am aware some of the decimal coins with certain markings and years are now starting to be worth more than their face value, but any 1 or 2 cent coin that has been in the ground usually has some kind of a tarnish or evidence of corrosion etc, depending on location found. Beach finds are usually pretty bad due to the salt, i think soil ph effects some found in parks etc.

Truly valuable decimal coins that have been laying in the ground or done years in circulation would fetch the higher prices. Coins in Mint Rolls or the collector Mint sets issued annually would be the ones you need.

I am not interested in the value of my finds I am excited about the condition of this coin. I remember spending these as a kid, and this 2c looks like it couldave teleported decades from someones pocket, and straight under my coil
