<p>[QUOTE=&quot;johnmilton, post: 3474353, member: 101855&quot;]I think that the Two Cent Piece got quite a bit of use. A lot of Two Cent pieces that survive today are in Good condition, even the coins at the end of the series in the late 1860s. When I formed a set of Two Cent Pieces circa 1980 in EF, it was not that easy. The coin simply lost its purpose after the Civil War. There were more cents in circulation than were needed and the Two Cent just wasn&#039;t needed.</p><p><br /></p><p><br /></p><p><br /></p><p>They were also issued to retire these three cent fractional currency notes, which the government determined were &quot;small, dirty and unattractive.&quot; The same argument was made for the 5 cent nickel.</p><p><br /></p><p>[ATTACH=full]924191[/ATTACH] [ATTACH=full]924192[/ATTACH][/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
