The coin in question is a **Shield Two Cents** piece minted in **1865** at the **Philadelphia Mint**. This particular coin is notable for its **bronze** composition and features a **plain edge**. Designed by **James Barton Longacre**, the coin has a **denomination** of **$5**, which is unusual as the Two Cents denomination typically applies to coins worth two cents; however, the context here refers to its denomination more than its actual value since it is not a Two Cents piece but rather a five-dollar coin. With a diameter of **23 mm** and a weight of approximately **6.22 grams**, it was produced with a total mintage of **13,640,000** pieces. The absence of a mint mark signifies that it was struck in Philadelphia, which was the only mint for this particular series during that timeframe. This coin is part of the broader category of **Coins** representing the **United States of America**. As a collectible item, its condition plays significantly into its grading and value, appealing to numismatic enthusiasts and collectors of United States currency who appreciate both its historical significance and aesthetic design.
