The 2 Cent Piece, minted in the United States from 1864 to 1873, is a notable collectible coin due to its unique design and historical context. The 1870 Philadelphia 2 Cent piece features a shield encircled by two olive branches on the obverse and the denomination and inscription "Two Cents" on the reverse. Unlike many other coins, the 2 Cent piece was introduced during the Civil War to address the coinage shortage. Collectors often seek out this coin for its scarcity, especially in higher grades, making it a significant piece in American numismatic history.
