1871 - Coins

The 2 Cent Piece, minted in the United States from 1864 to 1873, was introduced during the Civil War as a means to alleviate the coin shortage. The 1871 2 Cent Piece is notable for its unique design featuring a shield with a banner inscribed with "In God We Trust" on the obverse, and a wreath on the reverse. These coins are composed of 95% copper and 5% tin and zinc, contributing to their distinct appearance. The 1871 coin holds collectible value, particularly in higher grades, due to its relatively low mintage and historical significance.
