  • Collectors Guide to Modern Commemoratives
    $4.95 LITTLETON’S COLLECTORS GUIDE TO MODERN COMMEMORATIVES Collectors Guide from Littleton Coin Company With the release of the George Washington commemorative half in 1982, a new era in U.S. coinage began. This 90% silver coin celebrated the 250th anniversary of his birth, and marked the first new commemorative since 1954. Washington leading the troops during the Battle of Princeton Modern Commemorative Coins Dear Collector, Modern U.S. Commemoratives are pure Americana. That’s because these special coins are created to honor our country’s historic events, famous people, important buildings, anniversaries and more. While each coin is legal tender, every design is different and has its own David M. Sundman story to tell. Hold one in your hand, and you’re LCC President holding a coin rich in historical significance. From 1982 to date… modern commemoratives reflect the fabric of American life Whether it’s the very first modern commemorative – the 1982 George Washington half dollar, or the 2009 Abraham Lincoln dollar, each beautiful clad, silver or gold coin displays images representing the special occasion they honor. Their designs recall bicentennials, baseball legends, and events that make up the very fabric of our American life. Have a plan for your collection Littleton makes collecting commemoratives fun and easy, but it’s always good to have a plan. There are many ways to build a set of modern commemoratives. Some choose to collect the silver and clad halves or dollar issues in chronological order, while others, with a larger budget, choose the gold coins. And still others collect by topic: the Olympics, buildings, ships, history and many other themes.

  • Reminders of History and Heritage by Jeanne S
    ORBIS C © U.S. Coins: An assortment of American coins. Reminders of History and Heritage by Jeanne S. Holden Coins have many uses. People save them or spend them. Some people collect coins for fun or for profit. Others “toss a coin” to make a decision or use coins in magic tricks. Children use coins in tabletop games such as “penny hockey.” Sometimes coins are used in jewelry or as adornment on clothes. But few people who use coins every day think about such things as: Why does a coin look the way it does? Why is it a particular size? Why are certain words or images on the coin? A close examination of coins will not only answer these questions but will reveal a lot about a nation’s history and culture. In the United States, six coins are currently in circulation. Each coin has a different denomination, or value. The six coins are the one-cent coin, the five-cent coin, the ten-cent coin, the 25-cent coin, the 50-cent coin (half dollar) and 100- cent (dollar) coin. Americans usually refer to their coins by names rather than by values. A one-cent coin is called a penny; it is a copper-colored coin. A five-cent coin is called a nickel, a ten-cent coin is a dime, and a 25-cent coin is a quarter. Nickels, dimes, and quarters are silver colored. Americans use these four coins regularly in their transactions, as customers making purchases and as shopkeepers giving change.

  • 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.
