      Entry Details

      PCGS Number: 3644
      Coin Date: 1870
      Denomination (Short): 2c
      Denomination (Long): Two cents
      Desg: PR
      Mint Mark: P
      Composition: 0.95 copper; 0.05 tin & zinc
      Mintage: 1,000
      Strike Type: Proof
      Coinage Type: Two cent piece
      Coinage Years: 1864-1873
      Mint Location: Philadelphia
      Diameter: 23
      Weight (Grams): 6.22
      Designer: James B. Longacre
      Edge: Reeded
      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.
      General Notes: The 1870 Proof Two Cent Piece has a slightly higher mintage of 1,000 coins struck. Most of that mintage has survived. These coins are scarce as of PR66 with brown and red-brown color; while full red examples are rare as of PR65. Any cameo surfaces are great rarities in all grades. Once again, collectors should seek out either nice toners or blazing red examples.
