Two Cent Pieces

The Two Cent Piece holds a unique place in American history — it was the first U.S. coin to bear the motto "IN GOD WE TRUST," a phrase that has appeared on American coinage ever since. Struck from 1864 to 1873 during and after the Civil War, these coins are a direct connection to one of the most pivotal decades in American history.

At Bourbon Bullion & Coins, every Two Cent Piece is individually photographed so you can evaluate motto clarity, detail, and eye appeal before purchasing.

• 1864 Large Motto — the most common variety of the first year, and the most widely collected
• 1864 Small Motto — a scarcer first-year variety with strong collector demand
• 1865–1872 Issues — a range of dates with varying scarcity, ideal for date set collectors
• 1873 Proof Only — the final year of issue, struck only in proof format — a true rarity

The Two Cent Piece is one of the most historically significant short series in American numismatics, and one of the most satisfying to complete.
