The Two-Cent coin, minted in the United States from 1864 to 1873, features a unique design that highlights the motto "In God We Trust." Notably, 1871 trial coins, known as patterns, were created in Philadelphia to test new designs or features. These patterns are rare and collectible, often sought after by numismatists due to their historical significance and limited production. The 1871 Two-Cent patterns represent an important chapter in U.S. coinage history, illustrating the evolving nature of currency during that period.
