That year, there were actually two types of 5 cent coins. One was the Shield nickel, only in production since 1866. It featured an American shield on one side, and the number 5 on the other. Meanwhile, the Seated Liberty half dime had been in production since 1837, using the same design as dimes, quarters, half dollars, and silver dollars of the same era.

No. Cleaning coins will only decrease their value. Especially for collector coins like large cents.


What is the value of a us 2 cent piece dated 1865?

Condition is everything when it comes to old copper coins. In pristine condition it could be worth $25ish or so. However, the vast majority of 2 cent pieces are in pretty poor condition and only worth a dollar to about three dollars. However, do not clean your coin cleaning a coin (especially one like the 2 cent piece that contains no precious metals) will destroy any value that the coin had.

How much is a 1954 penny worth with the logo on the back ONE CENT?

'bout a nickel at most. All "wheatback" cents look like that, and it's not surprising that it would have a "logo" - actually called the denomination, 1¢ - that says ONE CENT on the back, just like a nickel says FIVE CENTS and a dollar says $1.

Why can't the penny be discontinued?

The Cent, along with any other denomination can be discontinued if Congress feels like it. However, most of the denominations that the US has made have not been discontinued, with only the half cent, two cent, three cent (silver and nickel) and the 20 cent piece being discontinued for various reasons. The big reasons why the cent is unlikely to be discontinued is because people don't like paying more for things and the zinc lobby is quite powerful (pennies are mostly zinc today).
