Will review this one sometime in the next few hours. -- Khazar2 ( talk) 16:30, 23 July 2013 (UTC)
Funny to see Thaddeus Stevens show up here--a nice intersection of your interests. As usual, well-written and well-researched; I made some tweaks as I went (feel free to revert) but I don't see any serious issues.

I just moved this article to the precise-enough title Two-cent piece, per WP:PRECISION. I could not find a titling/naming rule at the numismatics project page; if there is some rule mandating the qualifier even when there is no ambiguity, let me know and I'll move it back (and update the list at WP:PRECISION with this exception). Thanks. -- JHunterJ ( talk) 20:16, 7 April 2014 (UTC)
This article makes it clear that the two-cent piece came into being because people were hoarding coins during the American Civil War, but I don't understand why the war would cause people to hoard coins. Would it be possible for someone to add this information to the article? I am confused as to why anyone would hoard coins at all; we don't have a Coin hoarding article to explain this phenomenon.
