  • 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.

  • U.S. Pattern Coins
    U.S. Pattern Coins A Meinhart Talk by Eli Fybush What is a pattern coin? • A pattern coin is a coin that is a proposed design for a coin that isn’t approved to be released. • Many are very valuable because of their rarity and their historical importance, which is why they are so heavily collected. How did pattern coins begin in the U.S.? • Once the U.S. declared independence, Congress discussed what its currency should be. • In 1783, Congress resolved this problem by creating the U.S. Mint. • In 1792, the U.S. Mint opened in Philadelphia, and the first patterns were made, including the half dime – then known as a half disme. • Many of these patterns entered circulation in the next decade. The golden age of patterns • Many more patterns were created, but in the 1800s it got a lot more interesting. • Starting in 1836, even more patterns were made, including the 1836 two-cent piece, the 1836 gold dollar, the 1856 Flying Eagle cent, the 1858 Flying Eagle cent, the 1859 half dollar, the 1863 Washington two-cent piece and, most notably, the 1877 gold fifty-dollar pattern. These are some of my favorite patterns… The 1854 and 1855 Flying Eagle cents were ideas for a new one-cent piece. At that time the U.S. Mint was experimenting with ideas for a new cent. The Flying Eagle was made of multiple compositions and designs as they were experimenting. The 1856 design was finally accepted. The 1866 Lincoln nickel was the first proposal to put an actual person on a U.S.

  • Interesting Facts About Pennies
    Interesting Facts about Pennies Pennies have been around for more than 200 years. The penny was created in 1787, designed by Benjamin Franklin. The first penny was 100% copper and Paul Revere supplied some of the copper to make the first pennies. Now the penny is just 2.4% copper and 97.6% zinc. Here are some other kinds of pennies to look for: 1793 Lady Liberty. Large coin. Only 4 known to exist, worth $275,000! 1856-1858 The Flying Eagle cent 1859-1908 Indian Head penny 1909-2016 Lincoln penny (introduced on 100th anniversary of Lincoln’s birth) First coin with a president (and the only president who faces right) First coin with the words “In God We Trust” 1909-1958 Wheat penny (image on the back) 1959-2008 Lincoln Memorial (added in honor of Lincoln’s 150th birthday) 2009 Lincoln’s 200th birthday (4 images on backs of pennies): -Childhood in Kentucky (1809-1816) -Youth and young adulthood in Indiana (1816-1830) -Professional life in Illinois (1830-1860) -Presidency in Washington, DC (1861-1865) 2010-2016 Union Shield on the back Look at some pennies. What year were they minted (made)? Most pennies are made in Denver and Philadelphia. Some are made in San Francisco. If there is no mint mark, the penny was probably made in Philadelphia. Where was your penny minted? Look at the front of a penny. “D” stands for Denver, “P” for Philadelphia and “S” for San Francisco. Can you find the name of our country, “United States of America”? Can you find the national motto, “E Pluribus Unum?” This is Latin for “out of the many, one.” It refers to the idea that there are many states but one country.

  • Collecting Flying Eagle and Indian Cents by Thomas Coulson by 1850, the Mint Was Facing a Serious Problem
    Liberty Coin Service Collecting Flying Eagle and Indian Cents by Thomas Coulson By 1850, the mint was facing a serious problem. The cost of producing a large cent exceeded its face value. Many attempts were made to im- prove the cost effectiveness of minting cents. After several years, the final result was the small cent; initially with the Flying Eagle design. The introduction of these coins served the dual purpose of mitigating the excessive cost of the Large Cents and retiring the worn foreign coinage from circulation. The Flying Eagle Cent was well received upon its introduction. Throngs of citizens lined up at the Mint’s doors for the opportunity to exchange their worn coins for the fresh new cents. The majestic flying eagle was a 1857 Flying Eagle Cent beautiful embodiment of liberty; it is easy to see why they were so pop- ular. Unfortunately, striking issues caused the series to be short lived. The Eagle’s tail frequently lacked detail. By 1858 the Mint was working on a more practical design. The result was an American icon: the In- dian Cent. The ‘Indian’ , though idealized with European features, was an inhabitant unique to the Amer- icas. It was a good design choice for a Nation that wished to distinguish itself from its European origins. For the next half century the Indian Cent was a constant in a time of remarkable change. The population of the United States tripled during the coin’s tenure. In 1859, the West was untamed; only occupied on the fringes. By 1909, the entire country was settled.

  • 1857 1C Flying Eagle Cent NGC MS66 - Tied for Finest Known-!
    1857 1C Flying Eagle Cent NGC MS66 - Tied for Finest Known-! SKU: 4907474005 Stock Qty: 0 Retail Price: $14,500.00 PCGS #: 2016 Product Description 1857 1C Flying Eagle Cent NGC MS66 $14,500. We at AUCM are proud to offer for consideration a dramatic example of the Finest Known 1857 Flying Eagle cent graded NGC MS66. There are none graded finer! The Flying Eagle cent was among the shortest-lived coin series in American numismatics (1856-1858). This piece would make a great entry in a world-class Registry set of classic U.S. cents from throughout American history. Ron Guth writes, "In 1857, the U.S. Mint produced two different Cents: the old style Large Cent and a new, smaller cent with an eagle flying left across the obverse. One of the motivating factors for the creation of the new 'Small' Cent was the high price of copper. Each new Small Cent required less than half the amount of copper than the Large Cent, yielding significant savings for the U.S. Treasury." When introducing the new sized cent, the mint produced 17,450,000 Flying Eagle cents. It was therefore the first cent with a mintage that was over 10 million pieces. The obverse was designed by chief engraver James B. Longacre, and was based upon the design found on the Gobrecht dollar, which was minted in small quantities from 1836 to 1839. We do not know for sure what Longacre's model was, however some sources tell us that the bird in flight was inspired by Peter the eagle, a tame bird that lived in the Mint building.
