A ribbon above the shield bears the words IN GOD WE TRUST, making this coin design the first usage this now-ubiquitous motto. The date is positioned at the bottom center.

General Notes: The 1865 Two Cent Piece is the ultimate high mintage type coin for its series and comes in two major varieties including the Plain and Fancy 5. Extremely common in all grades up to the finest of gems which are just slightly scarce. The color designations show a very gradual increase in value and rarity with just the highest graded red gems being rare. This is the plain 5 variety.
