    Oct 14 — With Morgan Dollars being the most popular and collectible coin in all of numismatics, I’ve compiled a list of my best Morgan Dollar picks that may be lurking among the old coins in coffee cans or pickling jars stashed away in the family attic or basement. I’ve included my rationales for “why Morgans?” and “why these particular dates?” I think this read will certainly pique your interest enough to search for your own family treasure trove.

  • Draped Bust Half Cents: An Easy Early Series for Collectors

    Oct 8 — Draped Bust half cents were minted from 1800 to 1808. These have received less attention than Draped Bust large cents and multiple silver denominations with a Draped Bust motif.

  • Error Coin Sidelines George Washington

    Sep 30 — Graded AU58 by NGC and showing the very slightest touch of rub, this crazy-looking coin must have been set aside nearly immediately after it was struck. It is a dual error, combining both an off-center strike and a brockage. The obverse (the "heads" side) is struck 40% off-center, and there is a brockage on the reverse.

  • A Token From The Sugar Cane Train

    Sep 28 — There have been many times in American history when the coins produced and available in parts of the United States have simply not been enough to accommodate the needs of trade and commerce.

  • Rare Pattern From When Aluminum Outranked Gold

    Aug 19 — Aluminum is so ubiquitous today that it may not strike you today as a metal that would belong on the "precious metals" list or that even has much value. However, in the early and mid-1800s, it was considered in the United States and Europe to be very precious indeed. This led to the production of some rare pattern coins (trial pieces made to test out new designs or metal compositions) struck in aluminum. In fact, for a time during the 1800s, aluminum was more valuable than gold!

  • Rare St. Gaudens $20 Escapes the Melting Pot, One of 0.0007% Known To Survive

    Aug 18 — With gold prices on the move and hitting around $2,000 last week, there has been a 2020 "gold rush" of sorts. Despite all of this news about the yellow metal and the fact that some $20 gold pieces are available for prices closer to their gold content, certain dates of gold coins remain truly rare and difficult to locate even today. The 1926-S $20 Saint Gaudens offered by Heritage as part of Sale 1319 is a great example.
