According to Ron Guth: In 1864, the Philadelphia Mint produced two versions of the Two Cent piece, both relating to the size of the letters in the motto IN GOD WE TRUST. The Large Motto replaced the Small Motto and became the model for the remaining years of the Two Cent type. The Large Motto variety is the more common of the two. Cherry-pickers should keep a lookout for the following scarce and interesting varieties: 1864 Large Motto, Doubled Die Obverse 1864 Large Motto, Triple Punched Date 1864 Large Motto, Reverse clashed with the obverse die of an Indian Head Cent! 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.
