The Two Cents coin was issued by the United States Mint from 1864 to 1873, primarily as a response to the need for change during the Civil War. The 1865 Two Cents pattern coins, created in Philadelphia, were experimental designs intended to test coinage concepts. These trial coins are highly sought after by collectors for their historical significance and rarity, often providing insight into the minting process and design evolution during that era.
