Description
During the 19th century the United States went through a period of experimentation of denominations. The 2-cent coin was among the other failed experimentation of coins: also failed was a 3-cent, 20-cent and $4 Stella denomination. Few were issued between 1864 to 1873 so this is a challenging series to collect. The 1864 Large Motto 2-cent coin is the most commonly encountered of these coins.
