Collecting American Coins
Coin collecting is fascinating, and collecting American coins is an easy and entertaining hobby if you live in the United States. In most denominations there are some really interesting coins.
Pennies
Probably the most collected American coin is the Lincoln head penny. They have been minted since 1909. Some Lincoln head pennies were made out of zinc instead of copper during WWII. A very few were made of copper in 1943, and these are rare and valuable American coins.
Pennies had an Indian head on them before the Lincoln penny was minted. Another rare American coin are the indian head pennies.
Nickels
Nickels had a picture of the goddess Liberty on them, from 1883 to 1913. An extremely rare American coin, interestingly, is the 1913 liberty nickel. A mint employee made them illegally after hours and only five copies were made.
The buffalo nickel is the most classic American coin. It has a buffalo on one side and an Indian head on the other.
The nickel has had President Jefferson’s portrait on it, since 1938. The mint started a “Westward Journey” series of nickels to commemorate Lewis and Clark’s journey in 2004. So the Westward Journey nickels are destined to be collectible coins as they’ve tweaked Jefferson’s portrait and the coins have different historical themes on the reverse side.
Dimes
Dimes are probably the most boring American coin. The design of dimes hasn’t changed since 1945, the year after President Franklin Delano Roosevelt died. He suffered from polio and supported the March of Dimes. The March of Dimes helps people with birth defects now, but in Roosevelt’s time it also helped children who had polio. Franklin’s portrait has remained on our dimes since his death to memorialize his support of the March of Dimes. Dimes are a boring coin, but that is a great American coin story.
Quarters
Our favorite American coin, the quarter, had the Statue of Liberty on it until 1930. She was replaced by George Washington. Since 1999, the mint has been releasing the very collectible US State quarters, an American coin series that will be completed in 2008.
Half Dollars and Dollars
Half dollars used to be common, and until 1964 they had Ben Franklin on one side and the Liberty Bell on the other. President Kennedy’s portrait went on the half dollar in 1964. Because Kennedy was beloved, and because the 1964 silver dollar was to be the last “real” silver dollar, people hoarded them and they became a treasured American coin. The mint released more of them than any other half dollar, because so many people collected the 1964 Kennedy half-dollars. Congress even froze the date, and 1964 half dollars were minted in 1965, too.
The Susan B. Anthony silver dollar is an interesting American coin as silver dollars are rare now. It is the only American coin with a woman’s portrait on it, minted from 1979-1981.
