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.

  • 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.

  • Report of the Director of the Mint
    Fiscal Year Ended June 30, 1915 EEPORT OF THE DIRECTOR OF THE MINT. TREASURY DEPARTMENT, BUREAU OF THE MINT, Washington, D. 0., Novemher 1, 1915. SIR: In compliance with the provisions of section 345, Revised Statutes of the United States, I have the honor to submit herewith a report covering the operations of the mints and assay offices of the United States for the fiscal year ended June 30, 1915, being the forty- third annual report of the Director of the Mint. There is also sub­ mitted for publication in connection therewith the annual report of this bureau upon the production and consumption of the precious metals in the United States for the calendar year 1914. OPERATIONS OF THE MINTS AND ASSAY OFFICES. In many ways the fiscal year 1915 was the most eventful in the history of the mmt service; certainly it was as regards the New York assay office and the San Francisco Mint. The movement of gold from the United States in the first three months and the movement of this metal to our shores in the last three months were on such a tremendous scale that the patience, skill, and capacity of the officials and employees at these institutions w^ere sorely taxed. Since July 1, 1915, the volume of business has increased so steadily and so rapidly that the records show the total value of the deposits at the New York assay office for the first four months of the fiscal year 1916 to be $126,224,600 or nearly that of the deposits for the whole of 1908—$131,X92',227—which has heretofore been this office's banner fiscal year.
