1864 Two Cent Piece G Civil War Era First Year Shield Coin US Type Coin 2c Nice

The two cent piece was born in 1864, in the depths of the Civil War, when coins of any kind had vanished from circulation. It made history as the first United States coin to carry the motto IN GOD WE TRUST — and 1864 was its very first year.

This exact coin saw decades of honest work: the shield and wreath remain fully outlined, the bold 1864 date is clear, and the big 2 CENTS on the reverse stands strong, while the motto ribbon has worn smooth — exactly as the Good letter grade describes. A budget-friendly piece of genuine Civil War pocket change.

SHIPPINGEvery coin we sell ships in protective packaging — no exceptions. The exact container depends on the shipping class: for example, our Standard Envelope option is limited to a maximum of 1/4" thickness, so a bubble mailer isn’t used there. Instead, coins travel in a vinyl flip, a thick baggie, or a cardboard flip, whichever best protects that particular coin. We ship daily, Monday through Friday, excluding all USPS holidays.
RETURNS / GUARANTEEWe maintain (unless otherwise noted on items like bullion) a 30-day, FREE-to-you return policy. All we want is happy customers — if you don’t like what we send, just send it back, free of charge.
QUESTIONS? CONTACT USContact us Monday–Friday, 9–5 EST, with any questions or concerns. Our number one goal is happy customers who buy from us time and time again. If you ever have an issue, please let us know — and remember, our return policy above has you covered.
GRADING DISCLAIMERWe arrive at an approximate grade using a combination of our own years of experience and, increasingly, Artificial Intelligence (AI). We are not a professional grading service, and any grade shown is only an approximation — please make your own determination based on the photos provided.
