This unique offering features meticulously crafted replicas of a $1 Japanese note that was controversially designed for use in the U.S. following a hypothetical invasion that thankfully never transpired. In the wake of World War II, the American penny underwent a significant transformation; minted in steel in 1943, it holds the distinction of being the only U.S. steel coin ever produced. Moreover, the 1944 pennies emerged from a noble cause, made from recycled copper sourced from battlefield shell cases, symbolizing the resilience and resourcefulness of a nation at war.
This collection also brings to light the 1941 Jefferson Nickel, a coin minted in the tumultuous era surrounding the Pearl Harbor attack. Notably, starting in 1942, the Jefferson Nickel was manufactured with 35% silver, making it the only silver Nickel in U.S. history. These short-lived silver coins are easily identified by their distinct large mint mark on the reverse, marking them as a vital piece of numismatic lore.
