The 1868 proof two-cent piece was produced in a mintage of approximately 600 coins. Proof sets were available by mail order from the Philadelphia Mint at published prices, a system that had been in place since the 1850s and that served collectors across the country. The 1868 proof two-cent piece was part of the standard minor proof set of the year, alongside the Indian Head cent and the three-cent nickel.
