$39.95     only $29.95!
Fine To Extremely Fine Condition. Order Up To 5 And Receive 5 Different Types. Highly Collectable!

From the outset of the Civil War there was a shortage of government issue cents. Because the cents were hoarded and the public had no great love for the fractional currency of the day, copper coins were issued by many individuals.
Civil War Tokens are generally divided into two categories: merchant issues and those with patriotic themes.
The merchant tokens were issued to provide change and to advertise the dealer's wares. The patriotic types were simply used as a substitute for government coins and were produced at a profit by private manufacturers and put into circulation through various agencies.
These tokens vary greatly in both composition and design, in fact some 10,000 different varieties are known.
On June 8th 1864 a law was passed which outlawed private coinage of every type.

1800's U.S. Large Cents
 Fine Condition
$49.95     only $39.95!
Dates Range From About 1839 To 1856. Nice Original Fine Condition!

United States Large Cents are one of the classic series of U.S. coins. Issued from 1793 to 1857 the series saw several minor design changes. These include the Flowing Hair-Chain Reverse (1793), Flowing Hair-Wreath Reverse (1793),Liberty Cap (1793-94), Draped Bust (1796-1807), Classic Head (1808-14), Coronet Head (1816-1839) and the Braided Hair Type (1840-57). All Large Cents were struck at the Philadelphia mint and while there are many easily collectible dates of Large Cents, rarities do exist (unfortunately none are included in the group offered here). The 1793 types,1799 and 1804 are quite rare.
The Large Cents offered here are in full fine condition. The main standard for grading these coins in this grade is the center of the obverse in the area of Liberties ear. To be considered Fine the ear must be clear and the hair just above will start to show some good detail, though won't necessarily be sharp. The leaves on the reverse will also show some separation.

 

1800's Seated Dimes
 Fine Condition
$29.95     only $24.95!
Dates Range From 1838-1891. Nice Original Fine Condition!

Seated dimes are one of the longest running series of U.S. coins.  Issued from 1837 to 1891 the series saw several minor design changes. For the first two years the obverse (front) design was just a seated liberty figure, later in 1838 stars were added around liberty. In 1853 arrows were added at the date (to make the coins heavier!) These were removed in 1856. In 1859 the stars were replaced with "United States Of America" around liberty (which was previously on the reverse). The wreath on the reverse (back) was also enlarged and enhanced at that time. The design remained unchanged until production ceased in 1891. Four mints were used to strike these, they were Philadelphia, New Orleans, San Francisco and Carson City. The same basic design was also used on Half Dimes, Twenty Cent pieces, Quarters, Half Dollars and Dollars. While there are many easily collectible dates of seated dimes, rarities do exist (unfortunately none are included in the group offered here). The 1871-CC and 1873-CC are quite rare.
The seated dimes offered here are in full fine condition. The main standard for grading these (and most other seated coinage) in circulated condition is the word liberty on the shield located on the obverse. To be considered fine the word liberty must be complete, though not necessarily sharp.

Very Fine Condition
$169.95     only $129.95!

Bust Half Dollars are one of the the most sought after series of U.S. coins. Issued from 1794 to 1839, the series saw several design changes. For the first two years the obverse (front) design was a flowing hair style. In 1796 the draped bust style was adopted with a small eagle reverse (back). A heraldic Eagle reverse was used from 1801 to 1807 (no coins were issued from 1798-1800) and the capped bust type was struck from 1807-36. The reeded edge type finished out the series from 1838-39. The reeded edge coins were the only to be minted at more than one mint. Some of these carry an "O" mint mark for New Orleans. The same basic Bust design was also used on Half Dimes, Dimes, Quarters and Dollars. While there are many easily collectible dates of Bust Halves, rarities do exist (unfortunately none are included in the group offered here). The 1794,96,97,1815, 36+1838-0 are all rarities of varying degrees.
The Bust Halves offered here are in full very fine condition. The main design details of these coins will be sharp, though they will show obvious wear.

America’s First “Silver” Penny & Racketeer “Gold” Nickel
Price: $29.95     only $19.95!
America's Original Gold & Silver Plated Coins!!!

This is one of America’s most unusual coin sets... and a stunning piece of history!

When the first Liberty “V” Nickels were struck in 1883, crooks realized they were about the same size as $5 gold coins... and actually plated them in gold and passed them off as $5 gold coins!   A few years later in 1896, silver-plated Indian Head Pennies were given out in the Presidential campaign by Democratic Presidential candidate William Jennings Bryan, who tried to make a point that the United States should be on the silver standard as well as the gold standard.   These were America’s first “gold” Nickel and “silver” Penny. This amazing collection brings history to life with a genuine Liberty “V” Nickel plated in 24 Karat Pure Gold and an Indian Head Penny plated in .999 Fine Silver by the Morgan Mint.

Legacy of the Comstock Lode
Price: $79.95     only $59.95!
The Comstock Lode in Nevada was the greatest silver discovery in American history.
 

The lode was discovered in 1859, and by the time it ran out of silver around the turn of the 20th century it had produced about half a billion dollars in silver.    The classic Morgan Silver Dollar was introduced in 1878 in an effort by the U.S. Government to use up large amounts of silver from the Comstock Lode.    The Morgan Silver Dollar was made from 1978 to 1904 and again in 1921.

It was made with silver from the Comstock Lode.    A genuine Morgan Silver Dollar with silver from the Comstock Lode is the highlight of this collection.     Also included is the 2006 Nevada State Quarter.

The Nevada State Quarter honors Nevada as “The Silver State” and also shows wild horses to symbolize Nevada’s open spaces and “wild west” heritage.

A 1959 U.S. stamp honoring the 100th anniversary of the discovery of the Comstock Lode completes the collection.

The stamp has been out of issue for nearly half a century and is in original mint condition.

The complete set is protected in a custom panel and is presented in a special coin wallet with a Certificate of Authenticity.
