Collectible coins are numismatic items that are sought after by collectors and investors due to their rarity, historical significance, or aesthetic appeal. In the United States, collectible coins can include various denominations, such as the 2-cent coin, also known as the "two-cent piece," which was minted from 1864 to 1873. This particular coin is notable for its unique design, featuring a shield on the obverse and the words "In God We Trust." Collectors often focus on factors such as mintage numbers, condition, and provenance when determining the value of these coins.
