I think patience is key when building a great collection for cheap. Instead of paying full retail for everything you want, its usually a good idea to wait for opportunities to pop up.

I find these type collections much more interesting than collections of just one type of coin. You can see a (mostly) full history of US coinage on just a few pages. For the Ike dollar, you could go with a 40% silver that is not proof. That will match up better with the other silver dollars in the book. They are fairly inexpensive to find.

[@-oiiio-3993]

Pennies were British. The United States makes cents and has since 1793. The three cent of 1865 through 1889 was the first 'nickel' (75% copper, 25% nickel) coin produced by the U.S. as the five cent 'nickel' saw its debut in 1866. The original U.S. five cent coin was the half dime (see 09:03) produced from 1794 - 1873.

[@t.b.willoughby6540]

@@-oiiio-3993 There was a silver 3¢piece called a "trime," the nickel 3¢,which came later, was actually the first "nickel." The half dime (1794 - 1873) was a silver coin, no nickel.

[@-oiiio-3993]

@@t.b.willoughby6540 Indeed. Did you read all of my post? The three cent silver, also called a 'fishscale' by the public, was introduced in 1851 and was produced through 1872. They were initially composed of '75% silver (.750) until 1853 when the alloy was brought to the .900 silver standard. The 'nickel' coins (.75 Cu, .25 Ni) are the alloy still in use for 5c coins and for the outer layer of 'clad' U.S. coinage. For other 'obsoletes', the half cent was eliminated in 1857, the same year the copper 'large cent' was replaced with a copper nickel (88% Cu) 'small cent' which went to bronze in 1864 (1856 FE cents were patterns). The two cent bronze (first to bear motto, 'In God We Trust') was minted for circulation from 1864 - 1872 (1873 were proofs only), the 3c 'nickel' was dropped in 1889, half dimes ran concurrent with the 5c 'nickel' (1866) until the half dime's demise in 1873, the twenty cent ran only from 1875 - 1878, the $3 gold ran only from 1854 - 1889 (but then, all circulating gold became 'obsolete' in 1933). Large dollars went on hiatus from 1936 through 1970, were then dropped in 1978. Small dollar production started in 1979, stopped in 1981, resumed in 1999. Fractional currency is also rather interesting, as are the myriad varieties of pattern coins and commemorative issues of the U.S..

My big ones are 2 proof only TD's and a pattern TD. I love those coins. TD's are my favorite US coinage. When I'm done with this, it's on to the Drape Bust Dollars. Those are one of my favorites.

[@Guraniloth]

@@Silverpicker I agree completely :)

[@-oiiio-3993]

U.S. half dollars of 1965 -1970 are, indeed, 'clad' coins as they were minted on planchets with outer layers of .800 silver, .200 copper bonded to a core of .209 silver, .791 copper. As the net yield of such coins is 40% silver, they are often called '40%' or 'silver clad'. The same composition was used for 'Blue Pack' Eisenhower dollars minted from 1971 - 74 as well as 'silver' Bicentennial quarters, halves, dollars that were specially packaged and sold by the mint. Many people who are aware that 1964 Kennedy halves are 90% silver are unaware of the silver content of 1965 - 70 halves which means they are often found in circulation to this day. Buying rolls of halves at banks (in the U.S.) can be a dandy way to go about 'silver mining' for that reason. Free grading guides can be found online for your Indian Head nickel. It is one of my favorite coin designs, done by husband and wife sculptors James and Laura Fraser.

[@MrMonkeySwag96]

@@Silverpicker I'll believe your $1400 estimate if you actually included some quality coins in this album. As I said earlier, your Dansco lacks the most expensive pieces like both Seated dollars and the twenty cent. And it lacks a gold type page. In addition your common coins are in sub-par condition. For example, your V nickels look to be in Fine-Very Fine condition. My LCS sells heavily circulated V nickels like yours for a few cents. Seriously, V nickels aren't that expensive in AU or MS. In fact, a proof V nickel can be had for $300. You have damaged coins like your holed Seated dime. Again it's a scrap coin. It doesn't cost much to get Seated dimes in XF+ so there's no excuse getting damaged, slick coins. Your Draped Bust cent looks to be Poor 01 or Fair 02. The date is barely legible on your cent. I recently got a Draped Bust cent in G04 with a sharp date for $65. It doesn't cost much to get decent examples of the common coins in the Dansco. Ignoring the chopmarks, your Trade dollar is the only decent coin. How can you say your Dansco is $1400 if you cheaped out on getting decent examples? At least try to get XF+ for most of the coins. The guys on Coin Talk are right that your content is just click bait......

@@doubled7080 Pennies were British and were abandoned by them in 1970. The idea of metric coinage was quite novel in 1792 and was pioneered by the U.S. Mint; one dollar = ten dimes = 100 cents. Ten dollars was equal to one (gold) eagle. Many people in the U.S. do not realize that we (sort of) went metric nearly 230 years ago and still use the metric system daily. The U.S. dollar was based on, and traded on par with, the Spanish dollar which was the most widely respected unit of international commerce at the time. As the Spanish dollar was divided into eight reales, or 'bits', U.S. half dollars, quarter dollars and half cents were also minted to make change of 'two bits, four bits, six bits, a dollar' with one real (bit) being 1/8 dollar or 12 and one half cents.

Nice collection dont listen to these haters saying it's not worth what you say

[@MrMonkeySwag96]

So I'm a "hater" for stating factual truth? It seems you lack knowledge of numismatics yourself......

[@Frizzy678]

I think the type set is for people who don’t wanna buy the rest of the albums (sorta obvious)

[@Silverpicker]

Sort of, but I would argue that it's for people who are interested in variety of design

[@digginhistory-newengland7062]

Nice video. You should probably get a non-reprocessed steel cent

[@Silverpicker]

I was wondering about that. You think it's been tampered with?

[@digginhistory-newengland7062]

Silverpicker yes, yours just has that “look”. many steel cents have been replated. look up reprocessed steel cents and compare

[@jeffw1267]

You can get a PCGS or NGC graded MS66 steel cent for not more than $30 with shipping. It's already slabbed so it won't fit in the book, but it's not a lot of money for a really nice coin.

@@Silverpicker Those were sold in magazine ads extensively in the 1960s and 70s, often in a set (PDS) that came in a small lucite snap case with cardboard insert.

[@holasoyalejandro9822]

there are two types of three cent silvers. why is there only one in the set

[@Silverpicker]

That's a darn good question. Gotta ask Dansco!

[@jeffw1267]

Because there are different ways to define type sets. Imagine if you had to collect EVERY variation of Morgan dollars, for example. Peace dollars have the high-relief 1921, which is expensive. I'd just buy a low-relief example from later years and call it good. Indian cents have the no-shield reverse of 1859, the copper-nickel type of 1860-1864, and the bronze type of later years. And the list goes on.

I thought trade dollars were valuable in any condition?

[@Silverpicker]

They absolutely are. The only thing I meant was that there are other coins in the album that may be more valuable

[@jeffw1267]

In BU, Trade dollars are all expensive. I paid over $1200 for my MS62. Even in problem-free, low circulated condition, they're still worth at least $200 (the price guide says you can get a G4 for $100, but good luck finding one).

[@-oiiio-3993]

They are, but weren't always. I had a 1934 Stack's catalog that had 'offers to buy' on the last few pages of it. Trade dollars were purchased at 65 cents each in lots of ten or more. In later years, 'chop marks' were viewed as damage or alterations and devalued the coins. Now they are (appropriately, I'd say) viewed as part of the coin's history since they were produced to facilitate trade with the 'Far East'.

[@tryanglecrew9128]

what means far?

[@-oiiio-3993]

@@tryanglecrew9128 Generally, a 1979 Lincoln cent is worth one cent. There may be some varieties (double die, etcetera) that have value, and error coins, but overall a 1979 Lincoln Cent is very common. To not have the letter 'D' (or any other letter) indicates that it was minted at Philadelphia. A letter 'S' would indicate San Francisco, which would be a proof coin. Most coins struck for circulation at that time were minted at Philadelphia, Pennsylvania and at Denver, Colorado. Only the Susan B. Anthony dollar was minted for circulation at San Francisco, California, in 1979. All other 1979S coins, as well as some 1979S Anthony dollars, were specially minted and handled, with a proof finish, and sold to collectors. Here is a value guide for U.S. coinage: numismedia.com/fmv/fmv.shtml

@@tryanglecrew9128 The opposite of near. In the sense that I used the word 'far', however, it means 'very much'. An example would be "It is far too hot today to wear a heavy coat."

You mean 1892 and not 1893 and 1882 is the first year

[@-oiiio-3993]

If you're referring to his Columbian Half Dollar (at 18:25), they were coined (and dated) 1892 and 1893 to raise funds for the World's Columbian Exposition which opened in Chicago on May 01, 1893. It was the first United States commemorative coin. U.S. Mint: www.usmint.gov/coins/coin-medal-programs/commemorative-coins/columbian-exposition-half He is correct, therefore, in identifying a Columbian Half (even if the second year) as "the first of the series" having just referred to U.S. commemorative half dollars as "the series". The next commemorative half dollar would be the 1915s Panama Pacific issue. There was no regular or commemorative issue of U.S, coin introduced in 1882. The 'Liberty' five cent nickel made its debut in 1883, that's about as close to "1882 is the first year [sic]" as it gets.
