About This Design

1864 2-Cent Piece Poster

1864 2-Cent Piece Poster

This is one of MY favourites of the bunch. I think it's an exceptionally nice two-cent piece, which according to my research was a primarily copper coin with a whole bunch of detail. It was considered "one of the least successful coins in U.S. history" due to its short production run and lack of popular appeal. But it also happens to be the very first coin inscribed with the motto "In God We Trust", so it has its place in history for at least THAT little titbit. The reference to a deity as well as the coin itself is the result of the Civil War and the fear that gripped the nation as a result. Coins became scarce as a result of hoarders (hence the "Hard Times" and Civil War tokens also in Aunt Mary's collection), and religious fervour likewise bloomed during the crisis, although the practice wasn't wholly adopted for the entire US coinage until 1955. The two-cent piece was initially welcomed when it was first minted, but interest (as reflected in the number produced) dropped off every year until it was discontinued in 1873, only ten years after it was first produced.

My Bible verse postcard, turned out excellent. I love it and have it already framed. It was so reasonably priced for something done so well. Thank you to Zazzle and the artist! I thought it looked exactly like what I ordered. Perfect.

Poster is printed clearly, good quality . Inclusive of many prints . The shipping was the problem. Box was flimsy and item got bent.. only suggestion would have been to put in a canister or mark fragile. Printing was exactly as shown

I am a fan of Ravens and needed to have a poster of my favourite bird. The image quality is sharp.
