Overview

Historical significance

This coin commemorates one of the most pivotal and iconic moments of the American Revolutionary War. George Washington's daring Christmas night river crossing and subsequent surprise attack on Hessian forces at Trenton, New Jersey, significantly boosted American morale and re-energized the struggle for independence. The event is a testament to strategic brilliance and perseverance.

Estimated value

Circulated: $0.25 - $1.00; Uncirculated: $1.00 - $5.00+ depending on condition and mint mark. Note that this is a relatively new circulating commemorative coin, so its value is primarily face value unless it is in exceptional condition or a special mint variety.

Care & preservation

Handle the coin by its edges to prevent transferring oils from your skin, which can cause discoloration over time. Store in a cool, dry place, ideally in inert holders like Mylar flips, non-PVC coin slabs, or albums designed for coin storage. Avoid cleaning the coin, as this can often decrease its numismatic value by damaging its original surface.
