  • 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.

More broadly, numismatists (nu-MIS-ma-tists) explore how money is used: to pay for goods and services or to settle debts. Ancient coins and their contexts—including coins found in archaeological excavations—not only provide us with information about a region’s economy, but also about historical changes throughout a period, the beliefs of a society, important leaders, and artistic and fashion trends.

    Detail of a silver denarius from the Museum collection, decorated with the head of Pax (or Venus), 36–29 BCE. PM object 29-126-864. 12 EXPEDITION Volume 60 Number 2 Like a Bad Penny Ancient Numismatics in the Modern World by jane sancinito numismatics (pronounced nu-mis-MAT-ics) is the study of coins, paper money, tokens, and medals. More broadly, numismatists (nu-MIS-ma-tists) explore how money is used: to pay for goods and services or to settle debts. Ancient coins and their contexts—including coins found in archaeological excavations—not only provide us with information about a region’s economy, but also about historical changes throughout a period, the beliefs of a society, important leaders, and artistic and fashion trends. EXPEDITION Fall 2018 13 LIKE A BAD PENNY Modern Problems, Ancient Origins Aegina and Athens were among the earliest Greek cities My change is forty-seven cents, a quarter, two dimes, to adopt coinage (ca. 7th century BCE), and both quickly and two pennies, one of them Canadian.

Not by much of course, (known as the obverse) and her symbols, the owl and the not enough to complain, but I recognize, albeit belat- olive branch, on the back (the reverse). Tey even started edly, that the Canadian penny isn’t money, not even in using the frst three letters of their city’s name, ΑΘΕ, to Canada, where a few years ago they demonetized their signify: this is ours, we made this, and we stand behind it.
