Ten Coin Steel Penny Set<br />

$4.95<br />

22466<br />

During WWII, the U.S. Government melted many coins for their use in the war<br />

effort, and this temporarily changed the way coins were minted. In 1943, the<br />

penny was made out of steel rather than copper. Each of these “steelies” feature<br />

a profile of President Abraham Lincoln on the obverse, and the legendary “wheat<br />

ears” design on the reverse. Coins are in average circulated condition.<br />

Ten Coin Buffalo Nickel Set<br />

$12.95<br />

22465<br />

Also known as the “Indian head” nickel, this coin is a copper nickel five cent piece<br />

struck by the U.S. Mint from 1913 to 1938. It was designed by sculptor James<br />

Earle Fraser. The image on the obverse of the coin is actually a composite of several<br />

Native Americans, and the bison on the reverse of the coin is rumored to have been<br />

modeled after Black Diamond, a resident of the Central Park Zoo in the early 1900’s.<br />

Ten Coin Roosevelt Dime Set<br />

$44.95<br />

22464<br />

Following his death in 1945, the dime was chosen to honor Franklin D<br />

Roosevelt. The dime honored Roosevelt partly due to his efforts in the<br />

founding of the National Foundation for Infantile Paralysis (later renamed the<br />

March of Dimes) and through 1964 the dimes were struck in .900 silver.<br />

Ten Coin Mercury Dime Set<br />

$44.95<br />

22463<br />

Although this coin is commonly called the “Mercury” dime, it is in fact the<br />

Winged Liberty Head dime and the figure on the obverse is a representation<br />

of Liberty. These coins have not been produced in over 60 years, and are<br />

harder to find with each passing day! Minted between 1916 and 1945, the<br />

wings crowning her cap are intended to symbolize the liberty of thought.<br />

Ten Coin Barber Dime Set<br />

$59.95<br />

22462<br />

Barber or Liberty Head dimes were minted between 1892 and 1916 and are<br />

composed of .900 silver. They were designed by Charles E. Barber, Chief Engraver<br />

of the Mint, who also designed the twenty, five, and fifty-cent pieces. His initial B is<br />

at the end of the neck of the image of Liberty on the obverse. The dime featured a<br />

wreath of American agricultural products with the words “ONE DIME” in the center.<br />
