MoreIt can't be a genuine US coin because 2¢ pieces were discontinued in 1873. If it doesn't have a country name on it, please post a new question with more information including a description of its images and wording.Look at the coin again, the last U.S. 3 cent coin was struck in 1889. Post new question.
Please check your coin again. The first Lincoln cents were minted in 1909. All 1897 US cents carried the famous Indian Head design.
A U.S. Liberty Head nickel dated 1897 is not rare. Most circulated coins are valued from $3.00-$20.00. It needs to be seen for an accurate value.
Check it again, as there was no two cent coin from that year.
