Interesting fact
The Pattern 2 Cents "1836" (Pattern; copper) 1836 from United States made of Copper is a rare and unique coin that was never circulated. It was designed by Christian Gobrecht, the third Chief Engraver of the United States Mint, and features a Liberty Head design on the obverse and an eagle on the reverse. The coin was intended to be a pattern for a new design for the two-cent piece, but it was never adopted for production. As a result, only a small number of these coins were minted, making them highly sought after by collectors.
