On July 1, 1863, Union and Confederate forces collided, beginning day one of the Battle of Gettysburg.  The fighting began at McPherson Ridge and stretched north in an arc as the day wore on. Finally, Union forces retreated south of the town to Cemetery Hill.  The coin set depicts these events and even includes a free custom folder for storage and display.
