The 1872 Shield Two Cents coin is a notable collectible from the United States, part of a series minted between 1864 and 1873. Featuring a distinctive shield design on the obverse and a wreath with the inscription "Two Cents" on the reverse, it was the first US coin to carry the phrase "In God We Trust." The 1872 issue is particularly collectible due to its relatively low mintage and historical significance during the Civil War era, making it an important piece for numismatists and collectors.
