1866 2C Two Cent Piece
The two-cent piece is a US coin that was first produced at the end of the Civil War, but has origins that extend back to the early 1800s. Though the idea for a two-cent piece was originally derived during the first few years of the 19 century by a Senator from Connecticut, the Civil War and a few other events prevented the coin from being approved and put into circulation. This might have been for the best, too, because once the coin was first introduced in 1864, it would only stay in circulation for 10 years before being pulled.
