1864 2-Cent Piece Poster
This is one of MY favorites of the bunch. I think it's an exceptionally nice two-cent piece, which according to my research was a primarily copper coin with a whole bunch of detail. It was considered "one of the least successful coins in U.S. history" due to its short production run and lack of popular appeal. But it also happens to be the very first coin inscribed with the motto "In God We Trust", so it has its place in history for at least THAT little tidbit. The reference to a deity as well as the coin itself is the result of the Civil War and the fear that gripped the nation as a result. Coins became scarce as a result of hoarders (hence the "Hard Times" and Civil War tokens also in Aunt Mary's collection), and religious fervor likewise bloomed during the crisis, although the practice wasn't wholly adopted for the entire US coinage until 1955. The two-cent piece was initially welcomed when it was first minted, but interest (as reflected in the number produced) dropped off every year until it was discontinued in 1873, only ten years after it was first produced.

I was so amazed at how this all turned out. Everyone who attended the funeral was in awe of how beautiful it was made.
And I owe it all to Zazzle. I wouldn’t have done it better myself not to mention I wouldnt have time to do it.
The great part of it all was they had templates that was catered to my needs and that I could use it in ways I wanted to use to resize it my way. It took some time but I was happy it turned out great. I did 100 photos, 89, 66 photos (I think) lol templates.
The only suggestion is that the templates, before sending through would tell you of errors like; saying please revise or resize it again for any photos that is not perfectly well sitting or not show it’s cutting off some of them and where it tells you there’s duplicates.
Staring, placing and resizing all 100 + pictures into the template can be tiresome and overwhelming and it makes my eyes blurred that I can’t tell if they’re cutting off or overlapping or duplicates.
Overall I am very pleased and will be using Zazzle again should the need arises.
Thank you Zazzle.
Altogether I’ve done 3 collages 1 profile picture and couple pictures with 1 frame and yet this is my first time ordering as a 1 time customer.
Prices were very reasonable and accommodating to my finances.

Fun bright artwork that really captures the mood I’m going for! Pop art with cyberpunk energy. A little sweet but also spicy. This art is the perfect size and vibe for our art gallery wall. The printing looks great, high quality with vibrant colors! I went with the semi-gloss finish, which adds a little extra shine and thickness to the print making it excellent for high-traffic areas like the staircase wall.
