Longacre, it's composition is .950 copper. 0.50 tin and zinc. It has a diameter of 23mm. All two-cent coins were minted in Philadelphia.

 Q: Should I clean the coin to make it look shiny and new?
A: That's up to you. However, cleaning collectible coins can, and usually does, greatly lower their value to collectors. The patina on a coin is part of that coin's history.  

Q: Will the coin increase in value over time?
A: There are no guarantees but collectible coins often do.
