Kevin Flynn's Reference Attribution:
Triple Punched Date (1864/1864/146: Tripled 1, first 1 seen on left side and above the top, second 1 seen to the left and below the bottom of the 1. Tripled 8, first 8 seen above the top and bottom, second 8 seen below the bottom of the 8. Repunched 6 seen above the bottom of the 6. Repunched 4 seen below the middle and bottom of the 4.
Obverse: Die clash, outline of the wreath can be seen in the right field below the motto and right of the wreath. Two tiny die lumps to the right of the top right serif of the N of IN.
Reverse: Partial D. Die clash, outline of the circle and top of the shield can be seen below CENTS.
Also, on this coin, the clashing extends to above CENTS weakening the impression of the TS.
* The Authoritative Reference on Two Cent Coins by Kevin Flynn
** Comment: The so-called woodgrain pattern resulted from impurities in the alloy or concentrations of pure copper that did not properly blend with the 5% tin and zinc added to it. When these ingots were rolled into strip, from which blanks would later be punched, the concentrations were flattened and stretched into the patterns seen on the finished coins. Invisible when first struck, these markings appeared only after the coin was exposed to atmospheric agents that caused the copper concentrations to tone more quickly than the properly mixed portions of the planchet.
Pictures are taken of the actual coin you will receive and should be used to grade for yourself.
