    How to Collect Coins a Fun, Useful, and Educational Guide to the Hobby

    $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.

    For Sale: One of the First and Most Valuable Dollars in U.S. History You’Ll Need a Lot of Pretty Pennies to Buy It

    For Sale: One of the First and Most Valuable Dollars in U.S. History You’ll need a lot of pretty pennies to buy it. by Isaac Schultz August 28, 2020 The rarity of 1794 "Flowing Hair" dollars makes them among the most valuable coins in the world. This one sold for $10 million in 2013. In October, another dollar from the same batch will give it a run for its money. Rare Coin Wholesalers via Getty Images On October 15, 1794, Henry Voigt, the Chief Coiner of the United States, hurried nearly 2,000 silver coins to the desk of David Rittenhouse, the Director of the United States Mint. That day marked a milestone in the making of a country: Two years after Alexander Hamilton established the Mint under President George Washington, the first dollars had been minted. There’s some debate about what happened next. Some experts say there was a ceremony, well-attended by diplomats and representatives. Others say that despite the historic event, it was all business—no hor d’oeuvres, no party. Still others, including the Smithsonian Institution, say that the coinage was destined for the pockets of the aforementioned dignitaries, as a token of the bright future of the fledgling United States. What’s certain is that now, over 200 Octobers later, one of those dollars will go up for auction. An early 20th-century postcard depicting the first Mint in Philadelphia, where the first decade of American dollars were struck. Library Company of Philadelphia / Public Domain “The reason for producing these was to say, ‘We can do this.

    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.

    Collectors Guide to U.S. Silver Dollars

    $4.95 LITTLETON’S COLLECTORS GUIDE TO U.S. SILVER DOLLARS Collector Clubs from Littleton Coin Company “There is probably no other United States coin that has been as thoroughly studied, as avidly collected or as well known to numismatists and the public alike, as the silver dollar.” – Kenneth Bressett The first U.S. Mint Editor, Guide Book of United States Coins Dear Collector, Coins reflect the culture and the times in which they were produced, and the United States silver dollar follows America’s story from the nation’s founding to the present. Step back to the days of the American Revolution, and you’ll find that the colonists used a variety of silver coins. Yet, the principal coin was the Spanish dollar, or 8 Reales, forerunner to America’s dollars. David M. Sundman, A legacy of our nation’s past! LCC President In 1792, Congress authorized a silver dollar, and in 1794-1795, America’s first silver dollars – the Flowing Hair – were struck. These were followed by Draped Bust dollars. In early America, the frontier was the Appalachian Mountains. Precious gold and silver was scarce, so except for a few Liberty Seated dollar patterns, no silver dollars were issued from 1804 to 1840. In 1848, the discovery of gold lured thousands to California. By foot, horseback and wagon they came, with their worldly possessions and, perhaps, carefully tucked away Seated Liberty dollars of 1840-1873. Later, with the Comstock Lode’s discovery, the Morgan silver dollar was born! Morgans… Peace dollars… Eisenhower dollars and the small-size Susan B.

  • Chapter Six Complete Price History of U.S. Coins

    81 CHAPTER SIX COMPLETE PRICE HISTORY OF U.S. COINS In this chapter we will unveil the complete universe of choice quality United States Rare Coins and their individual investment records over the period from 1955 to the present. Every type of coin issued by the United States Mint from 1793 to 1965 and even a few after 1965 are listed, illustrated, and annotated with dates of issue, metal content, size, weight, designer's name, investment comments and price appreciation record in ten-year intervals, plus current auction records on both the date rarities and condition rarities of the type. More than two hundred fifty (250) coins are listed by type, and each represents the lowest priced, most common-date type coin in its series. The first edition of this book was the first time ever that an historical investment record for all United States type coins had been presented in such a comprehensive, easy-to-follow for- mat. For reasons that will shortly become apparent to even the slow witted, col- lecting rare coins in the finest conditions, as opposed to collecting by type or date has proven the most profitable method of investing in United States rare coins in the past, and now for the new millennium. What is the difference between rare coins, and date and type collecting? What is a rare coin? Date collectors try to acquire one of every date and mintmark com- bination issued for every coin design within a given series. A date collector is concerned with a single design which he wants to complete with an example of each date and mint mark issued.
