In early September, the U.S. Mint began selling bags and rolls of Semiquincentennial one-dollar coins.
Thank you to our sponsors!
Go check them out!
Only four other issues have a higher mintage than the 1884 making it a fantastic type coin due to the affordability. There were 3,942 originally struck in which most have survived. Common without cameo designations except for the finest of gems. Cameo coins are slightly scarcer with deep cameos being very rare.
Obverse Description
Lady Liberty with the word LIBERTY on her crown faces left with 13 stars around the periphery and the date positioned at the bottom center.
Reverse Description
Large V (roman numeral 5) is centered in the design surrounded by an ornate wreath with UNITED STATES OF AMERICA * CENTS * around the periphery. The motto E PLURIBUS UNUM appears near the top between the wreath and letters STATES OF AME.
