Honor The Memory Of These Civil War Legends

Now you can pay tribute to these famous Civil War commanders with this neat seven-piece set of legal-tender coins. The images on these Brilliant Uncirculated coins are applied using cold enamel. Cold enamel is a pigmented epoxy resin which gives the effect of enamel without the use of high temperatures. The resulting finish is attractive, durable, and resistant to the wear of frequent handling. This set includes:

• Ulysses S. Grant led the Union to victory at Appomattox Courthouse that effectively ended the Civil War
• Robert E. Lee is considered the most successful general in the entire Confederacy.
• George McClellan led the Union’s Army Of the Potomac during the early years of the war and achieved victory at Antietam, a victory that allowed President Abraham Lincoln to issue the Emancipation Proclamation.
• Thomas “Stonewall” Jackson fought brilliantly for the Confederacy from Bull Run to his death at the battle of Chancellorsville from friendly fire.
• William Sherman is best known for capturing the Southern stronghold of Atlanta in 1864 followed by his “march to the sea.”
• James Longstreet is considered one of the most capable generals on either side. He was one of Robert E. Lee’s most trusted commanders and disagreed with his superior in the South’s ill-fated “Picket’s Charge” at Gettysburg.
• James Ewell Brown “Jeb” Jeb Stuart was the South’s most famous cavalry commander noted for his reconnaissance and for running rings around his Union opponents.
