The 1869 proof two-cent piece was struck in a mintage of approximately 600 coins. The proof production remained steady even as circulation strike mintages declined. By 1869, the proof two-cent pieces were becoming the dominant form of the denomination in the collector market, and the pattern would continue through the remaining years of the series.
