Except for the 1908-S and 1909-S, people tend to overlook the Indian Head cents produced after the mid-1880s. It’s a natural thing to do, as by the 1880s the mintages of Indian Head cents had begun to increase significantly. Coins do not have to be rare to be fun and interesting. That is certainly the case with the 1982 Lincoln cents, which are really a mini-collection by themselves. The 1927-D Peace dollar is a good deal of fun. It is a better date although not a key, and it is interesting to consider how examples survived. It’s not often that we find a coin that is not very expensive yet is historically significant as well as a key type coin. The 1914-S Barber quarter is simply an entertaining coin. It lends itself to comparisons and all sorts of questions that make it a great deal of fun to consider and a very good coin to own. The 1837 half dollar is hardly at the top of anyone’s want list, but in a way it’s a lot more important than many know. It’s a type coin that a lot of people need simply to save some money. Some coins just stick out like sore thumbs. That is the case with the 1879-O gold Eagle as there are no other New Orleans gold Eagles stretching all the way back to 1860. Hoard coins are enormous fun to study for a variety of reasons. In some cases trying to determine if there really was a hoard is a reasonable place to start. The 1929 Saint-Gaudens double eagle is one of the best examples of the things both good and bad that could have happened to a Saint-Gaudens double eagle t. The 1916 Walking Liberty half dollar is a classic case of a coin that was saved since it was the first year of a new design, but it was probably not saved in the numbers that might be expected. |
