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. -
Part I. Design Subtypes Part II. Die Varieties
This checklist is my attempt to compile a comprehensive listing of all known variety and error types, subtypes, and associated effects. While the traditional planchet-die-striking method of classification hasn't been completely abandoned, it has been absorbed into a much more detailed and precise taxonomy. This is intended to reflect the numerous steps (and mis- steps) in the minting process that generate the great diversity of anomalies presented here. Many of the categories will be familiar to veteran collectors. Others will perhaps be dimly recalled, while others will be unfamiliar. Many of the more obscure error types have been treated in detail in articles published in Errorscope. These articles are referenced next to the appropriate entry (“ES”). Other treatments can be found in Coin World (“CW”). I have tried to restrict this checklist to basic error/variety types and subtypes. Combination errors have been kept to a minimum. Had I attempted to incorporate all conceivable two-error combinations, this would have generated almost half a million entries. That would have been both unwieldy and unnecessary. This checklist is a continually evolving project. Updated editions are posted on the CONECA website at odd intervals. Thumbnail illustrations are planned for the next edition. The ultimate goal is to use this checklist as the nucleus for a massive encyclopedia. ES=Errorscope CW=Coin World Part I. Design Subtypes Design subtype, e.g. 1817 large cent with 15 stars 1828 half cent with 12 stars Seated Liberty dimes and half dimes, with and without arrows in same year Prototypes and patterns released into circulation 1916 Liberty Head (“Mercury”) dimes 1971 Eisenhower dollar prototype (CW 9/29/08) Minor mid-year design modification, e.g. -

What Are the 100 Greatest U.S. Coins?
Liberty Seated Collectors Club http://www.numismalink.com/lscc.html What are the 100 Greatest U.S. Coins? By Robert A. Izydore In Issue #88 of the journal Weimar White described the Liberty Seated coins in the book 100 Greatest U.S. Coins by Jeff Garrett and Ron Guth. This interesting book contains nice photographs of the listed coins and includes some good background information about them. The Numismatic Literary Guild and the Professional Numismatists Guild (PNG) both chose this book as their best numismatic book for 2003. The top 20 coins were ranked by 84 PNG members while the remaining 80 were ranked by the authors. The PNG members were given a list of the top 100 greatest coins and asked to rank them. The members had the option of adding any coins to the list that they thought should be included. White’s summary stated that the concept of greatness was based on the factors of rarity, value, quality, popularity, beauty and history. It was nice to see that the authors ranked 16 Liberty Seated coins among the 100 greatest U.S. coins in their book. The top three ranked coins were the 1804 silver dollar, the 1913 Liberty Head nickel, and the 1933 double eagle, respectively. White pointed out that greatness is a subjective quality, and I wholeheartedly agree. However, as I look at the coins ranked at the top of the list, it is apparent that these are the coins that sell for the highest prices at auction and in private sales. In other words the rank given to a coin was heavily skewed by its value. -
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. -
