      Entry Details

      PCGS Number: 3650
      Coin Date: 1872
      Denomination (Short): 2c
      Denomination (Long): 2 Cents
      Desg: PR
      Composition: 0.95 copper; 0.05 tin & zinc
      Mintage: 950
      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: Plain
      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 1872 Proof Two Cent Piece comes from a mintage of 950 coins struck, of which the majority of that mintage has survived. Scarce as of PR66 with brown and red-brown color; and rare as of PR65 with full red color. Any cameo surfaces are great rarities in any grade. Look for either nice toners or blazing red examples.
