1868 2C, BN VF20BN 认证号37485478, PCGS号3597

The Act of April 22, 1864, which changed the weight and composition of the cent, including a provision for a bronze two-cent piece. The weight was specified at 96 grains, the alloy being the same as for the cent. The two-cent piece is one of the shortest-lived issues of the United States. The motto IN GOD WE TRUST appeared for the first time on the new coin, with the support of Treasury Secretary Salmon P. Chase. The shield device is very similar to that on the nickel five-cent piece introduced in 1866.

The 1868 Two Cent piece is similar in rarity to the 1867. The only varieties worthy of mention are a misplaced date (with a possible 6 protruding from the denticles beneath the 6 of the date) and a possible 1868/7 overdate (subject to further confirmation).
