This unique coin offers a glimpse into the nation’s past with a design unlike anything in modern circulation. Collectors love it for its rarity, charm, and historical significance.
These Collector Quality Circulated examples deliver great detail and strong eye appeal while still preserving the character of a coin that served Americans over 150 years ago. As a bonus, the 2-cent piece was the first coin to feature the motto “IN GOD WE TRUST,” making it a landmark in U.S. numismatic history. Every piece tells a story from a transformative era.
Produced during the Civil War, each coin reflects the turmoil and resilience of the 1860s. The rich copper surfaces and classic shield design highlight the craftsmanship of the era. Whether you’re expanding your type set or just discovering obsolete U.S. coinage, this piece adds depth and historical weight to any collection.
This incredible 2-cent piece is not only a second-year issue but also a high-grade circulated example at a great price, making it an exciting pick for both new and seasoned collectors. Most collectors are surprised to learn this denomination even exists—once you own one, you’ll appreciate just how special it is.
