Okay here's a unique thread . Post a Coin during or just after a War in U.S history such as the Civil War , Revolutionary War, World War 1 or 2 . I'll go first - 1864 Two - Cent Piece . TAKEN FROM (DUG) THE SITE OF A SOLDIERS HOME . ( WITH PERMISSION)
When haven’t we been at war? lol Korea Vietnam War on Poverty Iraq Iraq 2 Afghanistan Cold War Terror Civil War 2 (currently being stoked)
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.
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 .
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.
