The 2 Cent Piece was a coin issued by the United States Mint from 1864 to 1873. The 1866 Philadelphia minted version is particularly notable as it was one of the first coins to feature a motto, "In God We Trust," on its reverse. The coin was made of bronze and has a distinct design that includes a shield and two wheat stalks, symbolizing agriculture and the nation. Due to its limited mintage and unique historical context, the 2 Cent Piece is highly sought after by collectors.
