Interesting.
The posts have the Civil War and WWII covered.

We need some from:
-- the War of 1812
-- the Spanish American War (1898)
-- WWI (1914-1919); only 1918/1919 for the US
-- the Mexican/American War (date?)

And then there were the more recent ones:
-- the Korean War
-- Vietnam
-- Afghanistan

Those are the ones I can think of off the top of my head.

 

Wow!

 

One year before the first shots were fired at Fort Sumter.

 

FYI:
Do you know that is a small motto?

 

Mexican American War (1846-1848)

 

Yes. I was shaking like a leaf when I dug it up ! I still can't believe it . Even though it's not in the greatest shape, I believe it's still desirable .

 

Here’s two of my WWII Nickels.

 

And I can’t leave this one out. Notice the 3 in the date. It has the notch si this is a 3/2 and it has full steps.

 

I saw this set at a coin show many years ago and bought it because I thought it was neat.



And here is something that is a bit different. This a "web" that was left over after the planchets for wartime steel cents were punched out of the strip of metal.

 

yes, still worth a premium.

How much?
No clue

On eBay? Priceless

 

How about the War on Drugs? Lots of overlap . . .
