1942 World War II U.S. Coin Set: America Mobilizes for War
This five-piece set of coins was struck during the second year of America’s involvement in World War II. Unprepared for war, the United States began mobilizing in 1942 even as undermanned American forces blunted the Japanese on Midway Island. From then on America was on the offensive. This set captures this pivotal war year.
While our nation was at war, these were the coins that circulated in commerce, being traded for war bonds as well as everyday staples. In this set you’ll receive a Lincoln Wheat-Back Cent, Jefferson Nickel, Mercury Dime, Washington Quarter and Walking Liberty Half Dollar. The nickel, dime, quarter and half dollar come struck in 90% silver. Each set comes in Very Good (VG) condition.
