    $4.95 Valuable Tips & Information! LITTLETON’S HOW TO CCOLLECTOLLECT CCOINSOINS ✓ Find the answers to the top 8 questions about coins! ✓ Are there any U.S. coin types you’ve never heard of? ✓ Learn about grading coins! ✓ Expand your coin collecting knowledge! ✓ Keep your coins in the best condition! ✓ Learn all about the different U.S. Mints and mint marks! WELCOME… Dear Collector, Coins reflect the culture and the times in which they were produced, and U.S. coins tell the story of America in a way that no other artifact can. Why? Because they have been used since the nation’s beginnings. Pathfinders and trendsetters – Benjamin Franklin, Robert E. Lee, Teddy Roosevelt, Marilyn Monroe – you, your parents and grandparents have all used coins. When you hold one in your hand, you’re holding a tangible link to the past. David M. Sundman, You can travel back to colonial America LCC President with a large cent, the Civil War with a two-cent piece, or to the beginning of America’s involvement in WWI with a Mercury dime. Every U.S. coin is an enduring legacy from our nation’s past! Have a plan for your collection When many collectors begin, they may want to collect everything, because all different coin types fascinate them. But, after gaining more knowledge and experience, they usually find that it’s good to have a plan and a focus for what they want to collect. Although there are various ways (pages 8 & 9 list a few), building a complete date and mint mark collection (such as Lincoln cents) is considered by many to be the ultimate achievement.

  • Part I. Design Subtypes Part II. Die Varieties
    This checklist is my attempt to compile a comprehensive listing of all known variety and error types, subtypes, and associated effects. While the traditional planchet-die-striking method of classification hasn't been completely abandoned, it has been absorbed into a much more detailed and precise taxonomy. This is intended to reflect the numerous steps (and mis- steps) in the minting process that generate the great diversity of anomalies presented here. Many of the categories will be familiar to veteran collectors. Others will perhaps be dimly recalled, while others will be unfamiliar. Many of the more obscure error types have been treated in detail in articles published in Errorscope. These articles are referenced next to the appropriate entry (“ES”). Other treatments can be found in Coin World (“CW”). I have tried to restrict this checklist to basic error/variety types and subtypes. Combination errors have been kept to a minimum. Had I attempted to incorporate all conceivable two-error combinations, this would have generated almost half a million entries. That would have been both unwieldy and unnecessary. This checklist is a continually evolving project. Updated editions are posted on the CONECA website at odd intervals. Thumbnail illustrations are planned for the next edition. The ultimate goal is to use this checklist as the nucleus for a massive encyclopedia. ES=Errorscope CW=Coin World Part I.

  • What Are the 100 Greatest U.S. Coins?
    Liberty Seated Collectors Club http://www.numismalink.com/lscc.html What are the 100 Greatest U.S. Coins? By Robert A. Izydore In Issue #88 of the journal Weimar White described the Liberty Seated coins in the book 100 Greatest U.S. Coins by Jeff Garrett and Ron Guth. This interesting book contains nice photographs of the listed coins and includes some good background information about them. The Numismatic Literary Guild and the Professional Numismatists Guild (PNG) both chose this book as their best numismatic book for 2003. The top 20 coins were ranked by 84 PNG members while the remaining 80 were ranked by the authors. The PNG members were given a list of the top 100 greatest coins and asked to rank them. The members had the option of adding any coins to the list that they thought should be included. White’s summary stated that the concept of greatness was based on the factors of rarity, value, quality, popularity, beauty and history. It was nice to see that the authors ranked 16 Liberty Seated coins among the 100 greatest U.S. coins in their book. The top three ranked coins were the 1804 silver dollar, the 1913 Liberty Head nickel, and the 1933 double eagle, respectively. White pointed out that greatness is a subjective quality, and I wholeheartedly agree. However, as I look at the coins ranked at the top of the list, it is apparent that these are the coins that sell for the highest prices at auction and in private sales. In other words the rank given to a coin was heavily skewed by its value.

  • U.S. Pattern Coins
    U.S. Pattern Coins A Meinhart Talk by Eli Fybush What is a pattern coin? • A pattern coin is a coin that is a proposed design for a coin that isn’t approved to be released. • Many are very valuable because of their rarity and their historical importance, which is why they are so heavily collected. How did pattern coins begin in the U.S.? • Once the U.S. declared independence, Congress discussed what its currency should be. • In 1783, Congress resolved this problem by creating the U.S. Mint. • In 1792, the U.S. Mint opened in Philadelphia, and the first patterns were made, including the half dime – then known as a half disme. • Many of these patterns entered circulation in the next decade. The golden age of patterns • Many more patterns were created, but in the 1800s it got a lot more interesting. • Starting in 1836, even more patterns were made, including the 1836 two-cent piece, the 1836 gold dollar, the 1856 Flying Eagle cent, the 1858 Flying Eagle cent, the 1859 half dollar, the 1863 Washington two-cent piece and, most notably, the 1877 gold fifty-dollar pattern. These are some of my favorite patterns… The 1854 and 1855 Flying Eagle cents were ideas for a new one-cent piece. At that time the U.S. Mint was experimenting with ideas for a new cent. The Flying Eagle was made of multiple compositions and designs as they were experimenting. The 1856 design was finally accepted. The 1866 Lincoln nickel was the first proposal to put an actual person on a U.S.
