  • Collecting Classic Commemorative Coinage
    Liberty Coin Service Collecting Classic Commemorative Coinage by Thomas Coulson By the mid-Nineteenth Century, the United States of America had cel- ebrated many important milestones and events. Citizens often wanted mementos of these occasions and private companies filled this demand for some events by selling commemorative medals. The United States Mint recognized the strong interest for commemoratives of national events and issued official medals on special occasions such as the U.S. Centennial of Independence. These commemorative medals were pop- ular, but lacked the full ‘legitimacy’ of a legal tender issue. The U.S. Mint first issued commemorative coinage in 1892 in conjunction with the World’s Columbian Exposition held in Chicago to commemorate the 1893 Columbian Exposition Half 400th anniversary of Columbus’ landing in the ‘New World’. Nearly two Dollar Reverse million Columbian Halves were struck in 1892 and 1893. Many of these were bought as prized keepsakes of their attendance at this once in a lifetime event. The success of this first issue paved the way for more commemorative coins to be issued; again in conjunction with Expositions. These included the Lafayette Dollar (Paris Exposition, 1900), the Jefferson, McKinley, and Lewis & Clark Gold Dollars (Louisiana Purchase Exposition, 1904), and the Panama-Pacific Exposition coinage of 1915. These first few issues proved to be popular enough with collectors that other organi- zations became interested in the issuance of a commemorative coin for their special occasion. Organizing committees for special events would lobby for the passage of an authorizing bill that would allow them to distribute a Mint-Issued, Legal Tender Coin and keep the proceeds in excess of the coin’s cost to help pay for the cost of their event or project.

  • How to Collect Modern Commemorative Coins
    Liberty Coin Service Collecting Modern Commemorative Coinage by Thomas Coulson The U.S. Mint first issued commemorative coinage in 1892 in conjunc- tion with the World’s Columbian Exposition held in Chicago to com- memorate the 400th anniversary of Columbus’ landing in the ‘New World’. That first issue was successful and gradually more commem- orative coins were made; again in conjunction with Expositions. As numismatics gained popularity in the early Twentieth Century, event promoters recognized a golden opportunity and lobbied for an expand- ing array of commemorative issues. By the mid-1930’s commemorative issues were becoming increasingly obscure and distribution methods focussed on profiteering rather than contributing to the welfare of the 1982-S Proof George Washington celebrated event. Collectors began to complain about the abuses and Half Dollar Congress reacted by suspending the coinage of commemoratives alto- gether. Though Congress was persuaded to authorize a few subsequent issues, distribution of those was also botched; further souring the taste for commemorative coinage by collectors and legislators alike. The last of the ‘classic’ U.S. Commemorative coins was issued in 1954. Though there were many noteworthy events and anniversaries over the following generation, legislators were reluctant to approve any new commemorative coinage issues as the memory of prior transgressions lingered. Companies such as the Medallic Art Company and the Franklin Mint filled the void by selling their own commemorative medallions in varying series. (Some of there series are beautifully designed, well executed and very affordable.) The U.S. Mint struck medals for the U.S. Bicentennial in 1976; plus cir- culating commemorative coins (and non-circulating silver versions)for that year.

  • 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.
