The 1868 Proof Two Cent Piece has an even lower mintage of 600 coins struck. Most of that mintage has survived. Scarce as of PR66 with brown and red-brown color. Full red examples are rare as of PR65. All pieces with cameo surfaces are extremely rare in any grade. Be on the lookout for nice toners as well as vividly red examples.
Obverse Description
An ornate shield flanked on the left and right by leaves with arrow heads and shanks (crossed behind) appear protruding at the four corners. A ribbon above the shield bears the words IN GOD WE TRUST, making this coin design the first usage this now-ubiquitous motto. The date is positioned at the bottom center.
Reverse Description
A large numeral 2 with the word CENTS below (smaller) in the center is framed by a well-defined wheat wreath tied at the bottom center by a simple ribbon. UNITED STATES OF AMERICA appears around the periphery.
