This set of obsolete US coins is a snapshot of US history. 1865 marked the end of the Civil War, which had divided the nation in chaos. At the time, two and three cent coins were common currency. This set includes an 1865 Three Cent Nickel and 1865 Two Cent Piece. The 1865 Three Cent Nickel was the first year that a circulating coin contained nickel. The 1865 Two Cent piece is one of the shortest coin series in US history, running from just 1864 to 1872. This coin was also the first appearance of the "In God We Trust" motto on coinage, as religion became more important in American culture due to the crisis of the Civil War. Both of the coins in this set are important pieces of Americana from a tumultuous period in US history. Each coin will be in Good-Very Good (G-VG) condition, and come in a protective flip. Add this set of obsolete coins from the end of the Civil War to your collection today!
