  • 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.

  • The Nineteenth Amendment Centennial Coin Project
    Take Action Now: The Nineteenth Amendment Centennial Coin Project Background Girl Scouts aims to inspire girls to be leaders in their own lives by building the courage, confidence, and character to raise their voices and be advocates of issues and ideas important to them. The year 2020 marks the 100th anniversary of the passage of the Nineteenth Amendment to the United States Constitution, which gave women the right to vote. The Women's History and Nineteenth Amendment Centennial Quarter Dollar Coin Program Act (H.R. 1923, S. 2427) was introduced in the House of Representatives on March 27, 2019, by Representatives Barbara Lee (D-CA) and Anthony Gonzalez (R-OH). Identical legislation was introduced in the Senate on August 1, 2019, by Senators Catherine Cortez Masto (D-NV) and Deb Fischer (R-NE). The legislation would authorize a series of quarters to be minted in honor of women’s history and suffrage. The Women’s History and Nineteenth Amendment Centennial Quarter Dollar Coin Program Act would create a new series of commemorative circulating coins that highlight women’s suffragists and other trailblazers from the District of Columbia and each state and territory in the United States. States would help choose the women and accomplishments they wish to recognize by working with community groups and organizations like Girl Scout councils. Take Action!
