  • 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.

  • 1807 $5 Capped Bust Half Eagle, Bust Left NGC AU58
    1807 $5 Capped Bust Half Eagle, Bust Left NGC AU58 SKU: 1940217003 Stock Qty: 0 Retail Price: $8,900.00 PCGS #: 8101 Product Description We at AUCM are offering the 1807 $5 Capped Bust Half Eagle, Bust Left, an important first year gold type coin. It was in 1807 that the Draped Bust, Heraldic Eagle half eagle type produced from 1795-1807 was replaced by a new design, the Capped Bust half eagle. That was due to the hiring of John Reich, the new assistant engraver at the U.S. Mint in Philadelphia. The Capped Bust half eagles (Bust Left) were minted from 1807 to 1812. If you wish to collect Capped Bust Half Eagles, there are different approaches you can employ. One way is to purchase just one from among this short series: this example of the first-year 1807 graded AU58 by NGC would be the perfect choice. If you wish to develop a type set of early U.S. gold coins, please contact AUCM for professional assistance. Popular due to its status as a first-year-issue, 1807 coins are usually well struck and feature very sharp details. Centers of this coins often are fully detailed, while the borders tend to show some weakness of strike. Luster is excellent on original coins, as is the case with this offering. The natural color of this coin ranges from medium green-gold to a rich yellow-gold. This is an excellent type coin. Reich's obverse design for the 1807 half eagle presents a buxom Liberty facing left, bordered by seven stars on her left and six on her right.

  • 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.

  • Classic Head Quarter Eagles
    Classic Head Quarter Eagles The Coinage Act of 1834 reduced the standard weight of gold coins to promote coinage and circulation of the coins, previously valued at more than face value. The specifications of the Act took effect on August 1, 1834. William Kneass created a new design to ease the identification of the new tenor gold pieces. John McCloskey’s initial study of the half eagle varieties appeared in the 1980s, while the quarter eagle varieties have enjoyed no similar publication. McCloskey’s work on the half eagles has proven accurate, with only one new variety discovered in over 20 years. The present study represents an examination of the quarter eagle varieties that Walter Breen previously studied in the 1960s. Breen’s work has proven entirely inadequate with many errors. Today we know of 28 individual die varieties of the Classic Head quarter eagles that were minted from 1834 to 1839, including branch mint issues from Charlotte in 1838 and 1839, Dahlonega in 1839, and New Orleans in 1839. Armed with a working knowledge of the individual varieties, the Heritage Permanent Auction Archives were examined for actual appearances of these varieties. The Heritage Archives provide a database of over 2,500 auction appearances of individual coins in the series. Auction appearances from 1993 to 1998 have no photos online, necessitating a study of the actual auction catalogs. Those appearances beginning in 1999 usually include online photos, easing the burden of study and attribution. Where available, certification serial numbers were tracked to eliminate reappearances, resulting in a net study of 1,348 individual coins.
