The Two Cent Piece was issued from 1864 to 1873 and was the first coin to feature the motto IN GOD WE TRUST.
All coins were made in Philadelphia with the final year, 1873, being a scarce proof-only issue. The Two Cent Piece was designed by James Longacre and is one of the shortest lived issues of U.S. coinage.
Incredibly well preserved with nearly flawless original mint red surfaces. Just 4 MS-67RD coins have graded finer at PCGS.
Very nice for the grade with a sharp strike and highly reflective surfaces that are mostly red.
Sharply struck and lustrous with chocolate brown surfaces that have a subtle iridescent blue-green hue.
Well struck and lustrous with just a tiny trace of wear and faint remnants of faded mint orange-red.

Doubled Die Obverse. IN GOD WE TRUST, the arrows, and parts of the shield are clearly doubled. This is a pleasing example with faded reddish-brown surfaces.
Predominately mint red with an orange-gold hue and touches of ruby and violet-green tint. Sharply struck and nearly mark-free.
Amazing quality with essentially perfect surfaces. The obverse is predominately iridescent lavender and copper-red with a steel-blue crown at the top. The reverse is a blend or blue-green and faded red. The eye appeal is outstanding.
