Dansco Coin Albums have stood as reliable companions for both seasoned numismatists and budding coin collectors. The Two-Cent Pieces and Nickel Three-Cent Pieces Dansco Album, housed in a 5/8″ binder, offers a secure storage solution capable of accommodating up to 33 coins. This album comprises 2 Dansco pages (series: 6108-1 to 6108-2), thoughtfully designed to showcase the complete collection of U.S. two-cent pieces and U.S. nickel three-cent pieces minted from 1864 to 1889.
The introduction of the motto “IN GOD WE TRUST” on the two-cent pieces marked a significant milestone in American coinage history. These coins were also notable for their relatively short production period, spanning from 1864 to 1873. Two-cent pieces were crafted from a composition of 95% copper and 5% tin and zinc. With a diameter of 23 mm and a weight of 6.22 grams, they possess a substantial presence within any collection.
Nickel three-cent pieces emerged as a replacement for silver three-cent coins during the Civil War when silver became scarce. Composed of 75% copper and 25% nickel, these coins bear a diameter of 17.9 mm and weigh 1.94 grams. Their unique composition and historical significance add an intriguing element to any numismatic collection.
Both two-cent pieces and nickel three-cent pieces were exclusively coined at the Philadelphia Mint, reinforcing their historical importance within the American numismatic landscape. Dansco Coin Albums further enhance the preservation and presentation of these valuable coins. The album’s pages are affixed with metal screws, allowing for easy addition and replacement of coins, ensuring your collection remains organized and secure.
