1809-1836 Classic Head Half Cent Fine

The U.S. half cent was produced intermittently for six decades, but mintages were often interrupted and existing issues melted for their 100% copper content. Today, this denomination seems a true oddity, but it could buy any number of useful items in...

1839-1857 Braided Hair Large Cent Fine

Early U.S. Mint cents were modeled on big British copper pennies. This Braided Hair Liberty was the last and most elegant of early U.S. Mint big coppers. Well-preserved Fine quality passed through commerce in antebellum America. Our choice of 1839-1857...

1859 CN, 1863 CN & 1865 Bronze Indian Head Cent Trio Good

There were a variety of changes to the Indian Head cent early in the series. This trio includes one of each of the first three types. The inaugural coin was copper-nickel and actually called a nickel because at the time, it was the only coin with nickel...

1878 7-Tail Feather Morgan Silver Dollar Brilliant Uncirculated

1881-O Morgan Silver Dollar Very Fine

1884-S Morgan Silver Dollar Extra Fine

It seems that of the 3.2 million San Francisco Morgans minted in 1884, most were released into circulation. Today, less than 2% of the original output remains in Extra Fine quality or higher grades. When a mint-state issue can be found, it sells for four...

1887-S Morgan Silver Dollar Very Fine

Its 1.8 million San Francisco mintage was far and away the lowest for the date (11 million were struck at New Orleans and 20 million at Philadelphia). Today Very Fine or better circulated specimens (as few as 25,000 may exist) are even tougher to find...

1891-P Morgan Silver Dollar Brilliant Uncirculated

This no-mintmark 1891 issue of the principal mint had an output only about half that of the 1890 Philadelphia Morgan dollar. Today as few as 230,000 are estimated to survive in mint-state quality (some earlier Morgan issues are vastly more plentiful)...

1893-O Morgan Silver Dollar Very Fine

Due to the repeal of the Sherman Silver Purchase Act in 1893, merely 300,000 Morgan dollars were struck for circulation by the New Orleans Mint. It was that facility's smallest production in the entire series. Today a silver dollar encyclopedia estimates...

1894-O Morgan Silver Dollar Extra Fine

The 1894 date is the second toughest to find in the 28-date Morgan dollar series. The most affordable choice for the year is this 1894-O New Orleans issue, which is scarce in its own right. Average mint-state specimens sell for $4,375! It's estimated...

1898-P Morgan Silver Dollar Very Fine

In 1898 the U.S. entered the Spanish American War. Despite this, the country was bustling at the end of the 19th century; Atlantic City opened its famous amusement pier in New Jersey, the Goodyear Tire company was founded and the Winton Motor Carriage...

1904-O Morgan Silver Dollar Brilliant Uncirculated

1923-S Peace Dollar Certified MS-63

Choice MS-63 coins are the "cream of the crop" in terms of BU grading. Of the 19 million Peace dollars struck by San Francisco in 1923, it's estimated that as few as one in 500 of its original output may exist today in mint-state conditions. Of those...

1924 Standing Liberty Quarter Very Fine

Billions of modern quarters are now produced by the U.S. Mint annually. But 100 years ago – even during the heady days of the Roaring Twenties – only 16.9 million Standing Liberty silver quarters were struck across three operating mints. While these 1924...

1926-S Peace Silver Dollar Brilliant Uncirculated

According to a silver dollar encyclopedia, as few as 52,000 of this San Francisco Mint issue may survive today in mint-state quality. That's less than 1% of its original circulation mintage, which was far below the output of the first 1922-S and 1923-S...

1928-P Peace Silver Dollar Very Fine

Congress imposed a quota on the total of U.S. Peace silver dollars to be minted beginning in 1921: not to exceed the number of Morgan silver dollars melted in 1918. By 1928, the limit was reached and the Philadelphia Mint's output that year abruptly...
