1859 & 1909 Indian Head Cent G-F Pair — Love pennies? Save on this bookend Indian Head penny pair!

1916 & 1945 Mercury Silver Dime G-F Pair — The official name for this silver dime series is technically the Winged Liberty Head, which was yet another beautiful issue designed by Adolph A. Weinman during the Golden Age of American coinage. Liberty's winged cap was intended to represent freedom of thought, but was so often mistaken for the Roman god Mercury that it earned the 90% silver dime its moniker. You'll receive an inaugural 1916 issue and final 1945 specimen in Good to Fine quality. Our choice of mintmark combinations based on availability.

1916 & 1947 Walking Liberty Silver Half Dollar G-VF Pair — The "Walker" is regarded by many as the United States' most stunning silver coin for good reason – even well-circulated pieces still bear impressive remnants of Adolph A. Weinman's magnificent Liberty and eagle engravings. Beginning not long before the U.S. entered WWI, this historic 90% silver half dollar series would have its service extended through a second world war. In Good to Very Fine condition, we've paired a coveted first year 1916 specimen with a final 1947 issue, both of which are essential pieces to any collector's inventory. Our choice of mintmark combinations based on availability.
