The 2 Cent Piece, minted in the United States from 1864 to 1873, was introduced during the Civil War as a response to coin shortages. The coin features a prominent design on the obverse with the words "In God We Trust" encircled by a laurel wreath, while the reverse depicts the denomination and the "2" within a shield. The 1865 2 Cent Piece is notable for its relatively low mintage, making it a sought-after collectible among numismatists, particularly in higher grades. Its bronze composition and unique design contribute to its historical significance and appeal in the realm of American coinage.
