2 Cent Piece

The 2 cent piece was first introduced in 1864. It was made from the same materials as the small cent or penny. It was a short lived coin and was the first coin to feature the motto In God We Trust. It is very close in size to a modern quarter, only it is slightly smaller.

Just like most coins there were some variations with the two cent piece. Here are the Variations. In 1864 there was a two cent piece with a small motto and a 2 cent piece with a large motto. A double die two cent piece appeared in 1867. If you don't know what a double die is then you must visit the error coins section. In 1873 there were also a couple of variations to the 2 cent piece.
