New to the World of Numismatic Coins? Get Started Here
Coins have been around for more than 5,000 years. Early Roman Emperors gave Silver coins that featured their likenesses to their best generals and troops as a reward for bravery. Coin collecting became popular in Europe in the 1500s. In the United States, collecting coins didn’t really begin until the 1850s but by 1950s, it was one of the most popular hobbies. Many children and parents amassed nice collections.
The numismatic value of a coin depends on three factors: the date and mintmark of the coin, the mintage/population of the coin and its condition or finish. A seemingly small or insignificant flaw can go a long way in affecting a coin’s value.
United States currency has shifted in design and composition over the years. Although modifications were made for aesthetic reasons at times, practicality was the main driver for the adjustments. United States coins have changed in diameter, thickness and overall mass. Coin size has evolved throughout American history based on the needs of consumers and fluctuations in Precious Metal values.
