The Two Cents coin, introduced in the United States in 1864, was produced during a period of coinage experimentation aimed at increasing the availability of smaller denominations. Patterns and trial coins were created in Philadelphia to test designs or composition prior to mass production. The 1863 Two Cents patterns are notable examples of these trial coins, featuring various design iterations that reflect both artistic and manufacturing considerations of the time. These coins are sought after by collectors for their historical significance and rarity.
