Highlights
1871 Two-Cent Piece — bronze alloy (95 % Cu)
Certified VF 30 by CAC Grading (CACG)
Low mintage of 721,100 — one of the scarcest in the series
Full legends and date sharply legible under even “Very Fine” wear
CACG encapsulation guaranteeing originality and problem-free surfaces
Description Released in 1871 as part of the short-lived Two-Cent series (1864–1873), this coin carries the historic “IN GOD WE TRUST” motto introduced during the Civil War era. Graded VF 30 by CAC Grading, it exhibits moderate, uniform wear across the shield and wreath while retaining crisp legend and date details. With fewer than three-quarters of a million struck and many melted afterward, the 1871 issue is highly sought by type and date collectors. CACG certification provides trusted grading and assures the coin’s authenticity and condition.
