Two Cents

Minted from 1864 through 1873 the Two Cent coin was composed of 95% copper and tin and zinc making up the other 5%. The coins are slightly smaller than todays quarter. The first coin to carry the motto "IN GOD WE TRUST" it was designed by the Chief Engraver of the Mint, James B. Longacre. The obverse features the traditional shield with a ribbon above it carrying the motto. Below the shield is the date. On the reverse is a wreath encircling "2 CENTS" all of which is surrounded by "UNITED STATES OF AMERICA." All of the Two Cent coins were minted in Philadelphia so there are no mintmarks.
