1930–1939 Cent-Quarter Depression Set G–XF

Ten-Piece Great Depression Era Coin Set

The 1929 stock market crash of October 29, 1929–a day known as Black Tuesday–was the catalyst for the Great Depression, a long and painful period of economic hardship in the United States which lasted the better part of ten years. The Depression of the 1930s was the worst and most severe economic downturn in U.S. history. During this period, a quarter of the population was unemployed, millions became homeless and lined up for food, almost half the banks failed, and average Americans lost their homes and savings, especially if that including money in the stock market.

When Demand For Coinage Ground To A Halt

With most Americans doing anything they could to survive, including hoping on trains headed to other parts of the country where they might be able to find work, demand for coinage almost ground to a halt making even small denominations, like the coins in this ten-piece set, extremely important. In this set you will receive:

• Five 1930–1939 Lincoln Cents with wheatback reverse. Dates our choice.
• A 1938-D Buffalo Nickel–a key date from the last year of issue.
• Three 1935 Mercury Dimes, each struck in highly pure 90% fine silver.
• A 1930 Standing Liberty Quarter, a key date from the last year the coin was issued.

Vintage Coins In Good To Extremely Fine Condition

The coins in this set were all actually used in commerce and come in Circulated grades ranging from Good to Extremely Fine (G–XF) condition. 

In the 1930s, a dime would get you a pair of socks, 8¢ would buy a loaf of bread, gas was 10¢ a gallon, and you could get four cans of Campbell's Tomato Soup for a quarter. Those vintage coins today are now all kore than 80 years old–and you can add them to your collection today while supplies last. Don't wait; secure your 1930–1939 Cent-Quarter Depression Set now!
