3) Different Framed Wartime Coinage - Pennies Nickels
As America fought bravely to conserve precious supplies for the WWII campaign, the United States Mint diverted valuable metals to the war effort. The silver nickel issue (1942-1945) released stockpiles of raw nickel. It was composed of copper, silver, * and manganese. The steel penny (1943) reduced the mounting demand for copper. It was minted of zinc coated steel while Lincoln Cents minted in 1944 and 1945 utilized the salvaged shell cases. Thus further conserving our resources. Offered here are three * different 10 1/4" x 12 1/4" Wartime Coinage wooden frames. One has a picture of the Liberty Bell, one has a picture of Twenty Dollar coin, and the other is Norman Rockwell picture of two parents checking in of their children.
