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. -

NPO-20190705243 Order Received: 2019 / 7 / 05 Numismatists’ Professional Opinion from the Numismatic Professionals at the Academy of Coins© 7/6/2019 Michael Schilling: Thank you for submitting your coin to PriceThatCoin.com. We examined your photographs. In our professional opinion, the coins pictured are: #1. All counterfeit: Counterfeit 1873 Pattern Trade Dollar, Counterfeit 1873 Pattern Trade Dollar, Fantasy (does not exist) 1865 Quarter Dollar, Counterfeit 1847-CC Counterfeit Seated Liberty Dollar, Counterfeit 1799 Draped Bust Dollar, Counterfeit 1799 Draped Bust Dollar, Fantasy (does not exist) 1851 Indian Head Dollar, Fantasy (does not exist) 1851 Indian Head Dollar. #2. Unfortunately, these coins are all definitely counterfeit coins. Without question. All of them. We've seen them before. Normally they're purchased in a pack together. Your photographs (rated 8 / 10, 10 perfect, 1 poor) are excellent for determining grade and authenticity. #3. Current Market Value (7/6/2019) These coins have no value. They are illegal to buy and illegal to sell. Most are not marked “COPY” as required by the Hobby Protection Act of 1973 (the 1965 Quarter is marked “FACSIMILE”). These counterfeit coins are normally made of a base metal with no bullion value. Some are magnetic, some are not. It is irrelevant, as these are all poor quality counterfeits. More Information: Ordinarily, we give you a link to an article here about how to sell coins like yours. There's no legal method to sell counterfeit coins. While we share in your disappointment – we love appraising great coins! - we're happy that you trusted us to educate you on the facts. -
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.
