1865 2 Cent Piece
$15.00 USD
Struck in the year the cannons fell silent, this copper relic bears the Union’s shield—fortified, ornate, and enduring. Above it, the sacred phrase “In God We Trust” remains, no longer a wartime plea but a postbellum promise. This coin is the second breath of a denomination born in conflict, now minted in the fragile peace that followed.
Its reverse wreath encircles the bold “2 CENTS” with solemn grace, a design unchanged yet newly symbolic. This piece passed through hands rebuilding a fractured nation, its weight a reminder of unity, sacrifice, and divine hope.
Weight of Fate: 6.22 grams of bronze (95% copper) Minted: Philadelphia, 1865 Condition: Circulated, shield and motto visible
