Obverse Description: An ornate shield flanked on the left and right by leaves with arrow heads and shanks (crossed behind) appear protruding at the four corners. 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.
Reverse Description: A large numeral 2 with the word CENTS below (smaller) in the center is framed by a well-defined wheat wreath tied at the bottom center by a simple ribbon. UNITED STATES OF AMERICA appears around the periphery.
General Notes: The 1866 Proof Two Cent Piece has a moderately low mintage of 725 coins struck, of which most have survived. Scarce as of PR66 with brown and red-brown color. Full red pieces are rare as of PR65. Any cameo surfaces are great rarities in all grades. Look for either nice toners or blazing red examples.
