Description
This die trial predates the official introduction of the two-cent piece, which was first issued for circulation in 1864. Struck in white metal and undated, it is an obverse die trial for the GOD OUR TRUST pattern design of Judd-312 to 315. The two-cent piece became the first United States coin to carry IN GOD WE TRUST; this trial shows the earlier wording. Only one example is confirmed.
