1867 2C, BN AU55BN 认证号33466402, PCGS号3591

The Act of April 22, 1864, which changed the weight and composition of the cent, including a provision for a bronze two-cent piece. The weight was specified at 96 grains, the alloy being the same as for the cent. The two-cent piece is one of the shortest-lived issues of the United States. The motto IN GOD WE TRUST appeared for the first time on the new coin, with the support of Treasury Secretary Salmon P. Chase. The shield device is very similar to that on the nickel five-cent piece introduced in 1866.

The 1867 Two Cent piece is a relatively common coin that offers the type collector an affordable coin with a mintage that is considerably lower than the most common dates of this type. Keep an eye open for the desirable 1867 Doubled Die Obverse (the doubling is clearly visible in the letters of the motto IN GOD WE TRUST" and on the shaft of the left arrowhead.
