Best Answer

There were 1863 2 cent pieces which were minted as pattern coins - test pieces to see what coins look like before a great number are minted and released into general circulation. The 1863 2 cent patten coins feature George Washington - the first time he appeared on a US coin and the interesting motto "GOD OUR TRUST" These pattern 2 cent pieces are quite rare and worth thousands of dollars. See the linked website for more.

Also note that the coin is called a 2 cent piece rather than "2 cent penny", because a penny is the slang name for a 1-cent coin.
