1865 - Coins

The 1865 Shield Two Cents coin is a notable collectible from the United States that was produced during a period when the U.S. Mint sought to increase the circulating currency. Featuring a shield design on the obverse and a wreath on the reverse, the coin was minted primarily to address coin shortages during and after the Civil War. The two-cent denomination was in production from 1864 to 1873, with the 1865 variety being part of the initial releases, making it significant for numismatists interested in Civil War-era currency. Collectors seek this coin for its historical context, unique design, and relative rarity compared to other denominations of the time.
