What is a 1864-P Shield Two Cent Coin?
The 1864-P Proof Shield Two Cent Coin is a coin that was manufactured at the Philadelphia mint. It has a legal tender value of $0.02. As a "Proof" coin, it was minted in a limited quantity, which makes it likely less available than "business strike" or "mint strike" coins which are intended for use in daily transactions. With such a low mintage of only 100, there are likely few of these items available for purchase or at auction in a year. This coin was minted in the first year of its series, and is a more popular coin to collectors for that reason, but not necessarily to investors. This coin does not contain any notable amounts of precious metals.
