Using the values of 365 pfd at 2.100 MHz, the calculated value for the 
inductance of these two would be approximately 15.75 microhenry each.

Using toroid cores, and winding with #30 enameled wire, the following would 
work quite well:

T-44-7    58.5 turns, resulting in a "Q" of 69
T-37-7    70 turns     resulting in a "Q" of 61

I am suggesting the use of mix #7 since it has the best temperature 
coefficient and is recommended for oscillators.

I can also calculate these for use with #26 wire size if necessary.
