A Bit of 1855 History:
The year 1855 was a time of major change in the United States. The country was expanding rapidly, railroads were tying regions together, and political tensions were rising ahead of the Civil War. That same year, the first U.S. petroleum company was founded in Pennsylvania, setting the stage for America’s future industrial growth. Against this backdrop, the tiny “trime” circulated widely, created to help Americans buy postage when rates dropped to three cents. This coin is a tangible piece of that transformative moment in American history.
