1936 Satin Buffalo 5c PCGS PR67These pieces are known as Buffalo, Bison, or Indian Head nickels. In the first year of issue, 1913, there were two distinct varieties, the first showing the bison on a mound, and the second with the base redesigned to a thinner, straight line. |
 |
1874 Seated Liberty 10c PCGS PR65 ArrowsIn 1873, the Treasury decided to convert to the metric system and began recording weights in grams instead of grains. This necessitated a slight increase in the weight of the dime, just within the tolerances of the old standard, resulting in a pract ... |
 |
1905 Barber 50c NGC PR65The Barber half dollar is part of the trio of coins that first appeared with this design in 1892 (the dime and the quarter are the other two). Barber's design was uninspiring— he borrowed heavily from other artists, and his designs lacked the ... |
 |
1921-D Walking Liberty 50c NGC MS65The winner of the 1916 design contest for a new half dollar was A. A. Weinman, also the winner of the competition for the dime. The grace and beauty of Weinman's half dollar design makes it one of the most popular of American types. Coins of this t ... |
 |
1795 Draped Bust Silver $1 Off-Center PCGS VF35In 1795, the Mint switched over to Robert Scot's new Draped Bust design, which was used continuously through 1803, then revived circa 1834 when the 1804 Silver Dollars were created for diplomatic purposes. The Small Eagle reverse, for which this typ ... |
 |
1802 Silver $1 Narrow Date PCGS XF40In 1798, a new reverse was unveiled on the Silver Dollar, featuring an impressive adaptation of the Great Seal of the United States. This reverse continued in use until 1803, then was resurrected circa 1834 to make the exceedingly rare 1804 Silver D ... |
 |
1873 Trade Silver $1 NGC PR64The Trade Dollar was aptly named — its sole purpose was to compete against the Mexican Peso and other bullion coins in Asian markets. The Trade Dollar was heavier than a regular Silver Dollar (420 grains vs 412.5 grains). Where the regular U. ... |
 |
1879 Trade Silver $1 PCGS PR65The Trade Dollar was aptly named — its sole purpose was to compete against the Mexican Peso and other bullion coins in Asian markets. The Trade Dollar was heavier than a regular Silver Dollar (420 grains vs 412.5 grains). Where the regular U. ... |
 |
1880 Trade Silver $1 NGC PR65The Trade Dollar was aptly named — its sole purpose was to compete against the Mexican Peso and other bullion coins in Asian markets. The Trade Dollar was heavier than a regular Silver Dollar (420 grains vs 412.5 grains). Where the regular U. ... |
 |
1890-CC Morgan Silver $1 PCGS MS64DMPLThe winner of a survey for the most popular American coin would most likely be the Morgan silver dollar, and by a large margin. The coin is big, majestic, made of silver, and (when uncirculated) dazzling. A deep mirror prooflike example Morgan doll ... |

1893-CC Morgan Silver $1 PCGS MS62PLThe winner of a survey for the most popular American coin would most likely be the Morgan silver dollar, and by a large margin. The coin is big, majestic, made of silver, and (when uncirculated) dazzling. A deep mirror prooflike example Morgan doll ... |
 |
1859-D Gold $1 NGC MS62The 1859-D is probably the most readily found Type Three gold dollar struck at the Dahlonega Mint, edging out the slightly rarer 1858-D in availability. The most commonly offered examples of this date seem to be About Uncirculated. Most of those seen ... |
 |
1859-D Gold $1 NGC MS62The 1859-D is probably the most readily found Type Three gold dollar struck at the Dahlonega Mint, edging out the slightly rarer 1858-D in availability. The most commonly offered examples of this date seem to be About Uncirculated. Most of those seen ... |
 |
1870 Gold $1 NGC MS65Although the mintage for the 1870 is similar to that of the 1869, quite a few more have been graded by the services, especially in the mid-ranges of Mint State. Several coins have also reached the superb level with the finest having been graded as MS ... |
 |
1875 Gold $1 NGC MS61The 1875 gold dollar has one of the lowest mintages of the entire United States series. Many were saved, as probably 10% to 20% of the original mintage is still in existence. Every example of this date that is seen is fully prooflike with deeply mirr ... |

1875 Gold $1 NGC MS61PLThe 1875 gold dollar has one of the lowest mintages of the entire United States series. Many were saved, as probably 10% to 20% of the original mintage is still in existence. Every example of this date that is seen is fully prooflike with deeply mirr ... |
 |
1847-D $2.5 NGC MS61The 1847-D Liberty Head quarter eagle has a mintage that includes slightly fewer coins than the preceding years from the Dahlonega Mint. The date seems more common, however, and it is probably the date most likely to be included in a type set requiri ... |
 |
1849-C $2.5 NGC AU53As the low mintage would suggest, the 1849-C is one of the scarcest dates in all grades for Charlotte Mint quarter eagles. High-grade examples are almost never seen. The population reports indicate a concentration of survivors in the Extremely Fine a ... |
 |
1851-C $2.5 NGC AU58Most of the known coins of this date fall solidly in the Extremely Fine range. Mint State coins are scarce and seldom seen. Production quality for the issue varies, and while some coins are well struck, others are poorly made. Several examples that t ... |
 |
1855-C $2.5 NGC AU55The 1855-C Liberty Head quarter eagle has the lowest mintage of any issue from the Charlotte Mint. The mintage of the 1843-C Small Date may be lower, but that can only be estimated. The quality of striking for the year was atrocious. Most specimens a ... |
 |
1860-C $2.5 NGC MS61The 1860-C Liberty Head quarter eagle is the last issue from the Charlotte Mint and is quite popular. It is always seen weakly struck on rough planchets. Only a few coins of the date are offered for sale each year. Most of these coins are in About Un ... |
 |
1911-D $2.5 NGC AU55The 1911-D Indian Head quarter eagle is the key to the series in all grades. It boasts not only the lowest mintage (by far), but few examples were saved at the time of issue. Most of the survivors are in lower Mint State grades, and even those often ... |
 |
1856-S $3 NGC AU50Easy to obtain in circulated grades, the 1856-S becomes a real rarity in Mint State, with just over two-dozen coins certified in Uncirculated condition. The striking quality is good, but the majority suffers from marks and abrasions that resulted fro ... |
 |
1878 $3 NGC MS62 PQ!The 1878 $3 gold piece is the most common date of the series, by far. More than 7,500 examples have been certified by ANACS, PCGS, and NGC combined, more than double that of 1854 and 1874. Uncirculated specimens are very common, even through MS-65. I ... |
 |
1852-C $5 NGC AU58As would be expected because of the relatively high mintage for the Charlotte Mint, the 1852-C half eagle is one of the more common dates from this Southern mint. Circulated examples in grades of Very Fine to About Uncirculated are offered rather oft ... |
 |
1853-D $5 NGC AU58In most grades, the 1853-D half eagle is the most common issue from the Dahlonega Mint. A large number of examples are offered at auction each year. Hence, the 1853-D half eagle is very desirable as a type coin from this popular Southern mint. Most o ... |
 |
1857-D $5 NGC AU58The mintage of only 17,046 coins suggests an issue that is quite rare, and that is indeed the case for the 1857-D half eagle. Most of the coins seen for the date are only Very Fine or Extra Fine. High-grade examples appear at auction with some regula ... |
 |
1859-D $5 NGC MS61The 1859-D half eagle has one of the lowest mintages of all Dahlonega Mint half eagles. The only coin with a lower mintage is the extremely rare 1861-D issue. The 1859-D half eagle is a rare coin in any grade, with most examples grading Very Fine or ... |
 |
1860-C $5 NGC MS62The poor quality of strike is the hallmark of this issue. As with the 1859-C, the reverse is from a defective die that resulted in a very blurry interpretation of the eagle design. This was probably caused by the use of a rusty die. The obverse, thou ... |
 |
1796 Small Eagle $10 NGC AU50The 1796 Eagle is much scarcer than the 1795, despite a similar mintage. Almost all of the known examples are in circulated condition, making it extremely difficult to locate Mint State examples. Some Prooflike examples are known, at least one of w ... |
 |
1877-S $10 NGC AU55The mintage of the 1877-S Eagle is similar to that of the 1871-S and 1872-S, but the 1877-S is the most common of the three dates (although all three can be considered scarce). Like most of the S-Mint Eagles from the 1870's, virtually all of the 187 ... |
 |
1915 $10 NGC MS64 PQ!Another common Philadelphia Mint issue that boasts strong luster, great strikes and availability in grades including MS66. In terms of those graded in MS65 or higher, the 1915 ranks as 25th of the 32 coin series. Sharp and attractively made, this dat ... |
 |
1913 $20 NGC MS64Struck during the final year of Howard Taft's presidency, the world teetered on the outbreak of war. Mintages slowed as the gold stopped flowing across most international borders, and those struck stayed close by in Eastern banks. In MS64 or below, t ... |
 |
1915 $20 NGC MS64As a date, the 1915 rates right in the middle of those struck in terms of rarity. Available in grades up through MS64, this date becomes quite a challenge in MS65 where just 42 coins have been certified. Interestingly, none have been graded as high a ... |
