Complete USA Two Cent Business Strike Coin Set.

This was recorded on May 10, 2008. Here you will find a complete United States business strike set of Two Cent Pieces issued from 1864 to 1872. The is a very short lived series and one of my favorite designs. The mintages are very low for some of the issues and the prices are also still low. The first US coin issued with the motto "In God We Trust" for circulation. A must buy if you ask me.

how much would it cost to buy a set?

[robmarlowe]

Not sure. You would have to check a price guide for current pricing. Coin prices fluctuate and it depends on supply and demand. I think you would have a harder time just finding some of the coins.

hi, i am a big metal detector. today i found a 1872 2 cent piece. the downfall is it was about 6 inches down and is currently tarnished green. the coin is in about the same condition as your 72 but just green. please let me know what i can do about this if anything!!!

The best thing to do is to take it to a reputable coin dealer and have them deal with the problem. Cleaning coins should not be done unless the object will further damage the coin. Coins are usually best left in the most original state found.

QUESTION: I was in an argument on youtube with someone. They claimed that the 1864 two cent piece was issued by a "private bank" and not the federal government. I know it was designed by the US MINT. If it was minted by a private bank, it's news to me. Can any experts clear this up for me?

[robmarlowe]

Far as I know, all two cent pieces were made and issued by the US Mint on the date of the coin.

Magnificent set, I only have the 65 and boy did it cost me a arm and a leg.

Nice set of 2-cent pieces! I think the mintage was by far the highest on the 1864 and '65--they seem to be the most common. I like the odd-denomination coins, too. I'm a big fan of the silver and copper-nickel 3-cent pieces--a lot of those are pretty reasonably priced and easy to find as well.
