Sixteen million Americans then fought valiantly for the world 's freedom in a war that ended in Allied victory in 1945.

Features a 1943 Lincoln steel penny produced to save copper for the war effort...a silver Walking Liberty half dollar minted between 1941 and 1945...and a silver Jefferson nickel minted between 1942 and 1945.
