Product Description

Discover the historical elegance of the 1865 Two-Cent Coin, known for its unique "Fancy 5" designation. Struck shortly after the Civil War, this bronze 2-cent piece was introduced following the Act of April 22, 1864, which altered the weight and composition of U.S. cents. As one of the shortest-lived issues in American coinage history, the 1865 Two-Cent Piece stands out not just for its rarity but also for the rich narrative it carries—symbolizing the nation’s recovery during a transformative period. This Fine grade coin showcases intricate details that are highly sought after by collectors and investors alike. Enhance your collection with this significant piece of numismatic history!
