1864 & 1865 Two Cent Piece Pair Very Fine

Product Description

The years-long conflict of the American Civil War caused silver, gold and copper coins to all but disappear from circulation. Introduced in 1864, the peculiar bronze two-cent piece is noteworthy for the first appearance of the motto, IN GOD WE TRUST on a U.S. coin. The unusual denomination circulated heavily in the aftermath of the war, leaving comparatively few available in collectible condition today. You'll receive a pair of 1864 and 1865 specimens in nicely detailed Very Fine quality.
