Here is an un official collection of US Coins. www.pccoins.com Specializes in US Certified Coins: Morgan Silver Dollars, Peace Silver Dollars, Buffalo Nickels, Mercury Dimes, and Walking Liberty half-dollars. All coins listed have digital pictures and accurate descriptions so that you as a coin collector can make an informed decision. All Certified coins have been graded by 3rd party grading companies such as NGC or PCGS that have graded the inventory of Morgan Silver Dollar, Peace Silver Dollars, Buffalo Nickels, Mercury Dimes, and Walking Liberty half dollar. With in this site you can also find US coin links to informational services, clubs and organizations such as ANA (American Numismatist Association, FUN (Florida United Numismatist), PCGS (Processional Coin Grading Company), and NGC (Numismatist Guaranty Company). The most popular of the US coins is the Morgan Silver Dollar, which was first, minted in 1879 and continued until 1921. The Carson City Silver Dollars, which came from that famous mint used to get rid of some of the excess silver produced in the West. Next, rising in popularity is the Buffalo Nickels issued from 1913 to 1938 and also called Indian head nickels. Peace dollars were the last silver dollar from 1921 to 1935. The Peace Dollar was minted to honor WWI. Mercury Dimes minted from 1916 to 1945 contains 90% silver. It is often said that if the mercury dime were the size of the silver dollar it would be the most popular minted coin. Walking Liberty half-dollar minted from 1916 ? 1947 contain 90% silver which are commonly referred to as ?Walkers.? Well that just a little history of US Coins. Thanks |
