The 1864 Two-Cent Piece is one of the most historically significant coins in United States history, famously known as the very first U.S. coin to feature the motto "In God We Trust". Minted at the height of the American Civil War to combat a severe national shortage of small change, this short-lived denomination remains a highly sought-after artifact by history enthusiasts and numismatists alike
