The Landing Craft, Vehicle and Personnel (LCVP), or Higgins Boat, is credited with helping the Allies win World War II. In 1938, the U.S. Navy and Marine Corps began testing a boat designed by Andrew Jackson Higgins of Higgins Industries in New Orleans, Louisiana. Higgins took inspiration from boats designed to navigate Louisiana marshes and swamps. The Higgins Boat was flat-bottomed with a ramp at the front. It was constructed partly of plywood to save money and steel. With the ability to maneuver in only 10 inches of water, the Higgins Boat allowed for military personnel, equipment, and small vehicles to easily unload onto an open beach through the landing ramp. Higgins Industries made more than 23,000 LCVPs in New Orleans during World War II. Characteristics The obverse (heads) design features a dramatic representation of the Statue of Liberty in profile. The obverse also includes a privy mark of a stylized gear, representing industry and innovation. The reverse (tails) design depicts a Higgins Boat as it would have been deployed during World War II with its innovative landing ramp open against a beach.

We do this in order to support everyone's work and ability to earn an income. Please visit our store and follow us for amazing items as we find them! Shipping Policy About eBay Standard Envelope Service: Like many eBay sellers we ship small coin orders (three or less coins weighing under three ounces) in 2x2 flips using the "eBay Standard Envelope" shipping service. This service uses the United States Postal Service's (USPS) First-Class mailing system - which by default processes envelopes through high-speed sorters. This can, and does, damage coins. It also can have other shipping issues, such as delayed delivery. If you DO NOT wish your coins to go through high-speed sorters, you can add a small additional fee ($0.48) to your purchase and we will forward this payment to the USPS for your item as a service for our customers. Your order will not be run through high-speed postal sorters while still benefiting from eBay Envelope's tracking service! This method is highly recommended by us AND meets all of the USPS requirements for sending coins though their system. You will receive your coins on-time and in great shape! Equally important is that we strongly believe in paying our fair share for our Postal Worker's work. If you wish this service for your order, please make a note in the "Buyers Comments" section of your order or choose "First Class" shipping at checkout. Combined Shipping Discount: We cheerfully Combine Shipping charges for all the items in your shopping cart at the time of purchase. This is done automatically for you in eBay's checkout procedure. Once an item or invoice is paid, we can no longer offer a Combined Shipping discount. Combined shipping is NOT available on items that include free shipping. International Shipping: We will ship allowed items internationally and only through eBay's Global Program. There is no free option for International shipping. We ship on regular business days. Orders placed on weekends or holidays will be shipped on the next business day. Orders over $200 require signature on delivery. General Information All coins are guaranteed authentic - bid with confidence. We do not guarantee grades from Third Party Grading Services. All descriptions offered are our opinions only. Sending a coin to a Grading Service is done at your risk, discretion, and cost(s). If you are looking for a certified coin, we do offer a variety of coins certified by PCGS, NGC, ANACS. *We believe in full disclosure by way of a detailed description, and large clear photographs when possible. Many less expensive and bulk items make more sense to use a "sample" photograph rather than photographing each individual lot.

Photos and information are courtesy of the U.S. Mint. Happy Bidding!
