1867 Two Cent Piece XF
This 1867 United States copper coin represents a fascinating chapter in American numismatics, carrying a face value of two cents. Struck at the Philadelphia Mint during the post-Civil War era, this specimen survives in Extra Fine condition, preserving the crisp details of its intricate engraving. The obverse of the coin features a detailed shield, which is layered over a pair of crossed arrows and framed by a decorative wreath. Arcing above this central design is the patriotic motto, "IN GOD WE TRUST", while the year 1867 is clearly struck at the bottom. This particular series is highly regarded by historians and enthusiasts for introducing this famous phrase to the nation's circulating coinage. On the reverse, a lush wreath encircles the bold denomination, which is written as "2 CENTS". The surrounding legend reads "UNITED STATES OF AMERICA". Designed by James Longacre, this short-lived denomination offers a compelling look at the experimental coin designs of the mid nineteenth century.
