CVC & Collectables presents the Capital Plastics U.S. Odd Type Coins holder, built for collectors who appreciate the unusual and short-lived denominations in American coinage. This display brings together the most distinctive “odd” types—coins that were created out of necessity, experiment, or economic change, and often disappeared just as quickly as they arrived. Holder Highlights Brand: Capital Plastics Type: U.S. Odd Denominations Display Holder Material: Durable clear acrylic Fit: Precision-cut openings for each denomination Display: Transparent design for full obverse and reverse visibility Included Types: Half Cent (1793–1857) Two Cent Piece (1864–1873) Three Cent Silver (1851–1873) Three Cent Nickel (1865–1889) Twenty Cent Piece (1875–1878) Historical Significance These denominations represent some of the most fascinating chapters in U.S. coinage history. Often introduced during times of economic strain or coin shortages, they reflect how the Mint adapted to real-world challenges. The Two Cent piece introduced the motto “In God We Trust,” while the Three Cent coins—both silver and nickel—were created to ease small transactions and postal rates. The short-lived Twenty Cent piece ultimately failed due to confusion with the quarter, making it one of the most notable experiments in U.S. currency. Collectibility This Capital Plastics holder is a standout for collectors looking to build something different: Showcases short-lived and historically significant denominations Ideal for a specialized U.S. type set Strong educational and conversation appeal Compact way to display coins that are often overlooked
