About this coinHistory

The 1867 proof two-cent piece was struck in a mintage of approximately 625 coins. The proof represents the standard Philadelphia Mint proof production of the late 1860s, struck on prepared planchets from polished dies for sale to the growing community of American coin collectors. The proof market in 1867 was small but stable, supported by regional coin clubs, dealers in major cities, and the Mint's own direct sales operation.
