The 1869 2-Cent Piece, graded GD04 by PCI, shows significant wear, but the key design features, including the shield and the olive branch, are still identifiable. This early U.S. coin, issued during the Reconstruction Era, has a rich historical significance as part of the first series of 2-Cent Pieces produced by the U.S. Mint. Despite its lower grade, the 1869 2-Cent Piece remains a collectible piece due to its rarity and important role in the evolution of U.S. coinage.
