Description: The two-cent piece, generally speaking, is a historically significant coins because it was one of the first new coins to be introduced in the wake of the American Civil War. The 1865 version of the two-cent piece, however, is more sought after than most other dates due to the fact that it was minted in the year which the Civil War was finally brought to a conclusion. This makes the coin valuable amongst collectors and historians alike.
The coin itself is simplistic in its design. On the obverse, you will find the US seal dominating the center of the coin. Above the seal is a banner that reads “In God We Trust.” Below the seal is the raised inscription of the 1865 date when the coin was minted. On the coin’s reverse there is a simple wheat wreath, within which is the inscribed 2-cent face value of the coin. Arching over the wreath and around almost half of the outer edge of the coin is an inscription reading “United States of America.”
