Numismatics

AHHH....the pure joy of coin collecting. Be it type coins from the 1700-1800s or finding state quarters out of change, this has been the hobby of the ages. It is not about the amount spent, but the joy of the seeking--and finding! I looked for over 25 years before finding an item, and when I found it, I wasn't shy about "stepping up to the plate" to get it! We pride ourselves on offering, not expensive coins, but coins of excellent value that you will be proud to own!

  • 1909- S V D.B Lincoln Cent – In 1909, the design was changed on this our one cent coin from the Indian head to a design that commemorated the 100th anniversary of President Abraham Lincoln’s birth.
  • 1921 Peace Dollar – First produced in December 1921, the idea behind the coin was to commemorate the peace that followed the “Great War”.
  • 1878-CC Morgan Silver Dollar – In 1878 the U.S. congress passed what is known as the Bland-Allison Act. This act required the government to not only purchase large amounts of silver but to turn it into silver dollars.
  • 1914-D Lincoln Cent – The mintage of this coin included 1,193,000 coins produced. That being said, what makes this coin desirable is the fact that uncirculated specimens were not saved in the same quantities that the 1909-S VBD coins were. Due to this, they are more rare.
  • 1955/55 Doubled Die Lincoln Cent – Extremely popular among Lincoln Penny collectors and undoubtedly, the most famous “error” coin ever produced by the U.S. mint.
  • 1937-D 3-Legged Buffalo Nickel – Another error coin that gained popularity with collectors, the details for the front leg of the Buffalo on the reverse side of the coin are missing, kaking it appear as a 3-legged buffalo.
  • 1916-D Mercury Dime – The proper name for this coin is the “Winged Liberty Head Dime”. It was another coin that was a part of the American Renaissance.
  • 1917 Standing Liberty Quarter: Type 1 – The 1916 Standing Liberty quarter is extremely rare and expensive. Originally produced in 1916 with a limited mintage.
  • 1932-D Washington Quarter – First produced in 1932, the intention was to be a one-year commemorative coin to commemorate the 200th anniversary of George Washington’s birth. The design was adopted in 1934 and is still in use today,
