1865 US Two Cent Piece Good Condition

You are bidding on an 1865 US Two Cent Piece.  I am calling it “Good” but it may be better than good but not quite “Fine”.  The book, A Guide Book of United States Coins by R.S. Yeoman, 61^st Edition, page 121 defines “Good” as “At least part of IN GOD is visible.”  Fine is “Complete motto visible.”  The word WE is weak.”  As you can see from photo 4, “IN GOD” and “TRUST” are visible but you can only make out part of the “W” in WE so you be the judge.  Also, in photo 5 you can see a couple of very small nicks in the rim.  While I believe this is normal for a coin of this age I prefer that you are not surprised upon receipt and inspection.  These photos are of course macros and enlarged.

I am not a serious coin collector.  The coins I am selling are from my personal collection from when I was a teenager and most came out of circulation, a few were given to me by relatives.  The condition quoted for each coin is based on the criteria from A Guide Book of United States Coins by R.S. Yeoman, 61^st Edition.  I realize condition for coins is critical and when in doubt I have listed the lower grade, I do not inflate grade.  Still, if you buy a coin from me and are not satisfied, I will give you a refund if you return it to me within seven days (see my guarantee below).
