1864 Two Cent Piece Good
The 1864 two-cent piece represents an intriguing moment in American numismatic history, being the inaugural year for this short-lived denomination. Struck in copper at the Philadelphia Mint, this coin carries a face value of two cents and belongs to the pre-1933 era of United States coinage. This specific piece is preserved in Good condition, showing the honest wear of a coin that circulated during a pivotal time in the nation's past. The obverse of the coin features a detailed shield draped with a wreath, set against a background of two crossed arrows. Above the shield, the design incorporates a scroll, while the year 1864 is boldly struck below the motif. On the reverse, a lush wreath wraps around the central denomination, which is clearly marked as 2 CENTS. The words UNITED STATES OF AMERICA encircle the reverse border, framing the central wreath and denomination in a classic, balanced composition.
