The 1868 Shield Two Cents coin is a notable example of collectible coins produced by the United States Mint. Struck from 1864 to 1873, this coin features a design with a prominent shield on the obverse and the denomination "2 CENTS" surrounded by two olive branches on the reverse. The 1868 version is particularly sought after by collectors due to its historical significance and relatively low mintage compared to other years. Its unique composition and design make it a popular choice among numismatists focused on U.S. coinage from the 19th century.
