UNITED STATES FIVE-CENT COINS!!
"NICKELS" are always an excellent
coin to collect. Many older ones are still being circulated! Building a
complete collection of Jefferson Five-Cent pieces is still very possible!
Of course, It's fun when an old LIBERTY HEAD or INDIAN HEAD NICKEL is found!

UNITED STATES TEN-CENT COINS!!
The United States Ten-Cent coin or
"dime", is often a GREAT coin to start you off with your collection of United
State coins! It is not difficult to put together a collection of post 1964
Roosevelt "dimes"! Every now and then, a silver dime minted before 1964 makes an
appearance! Sometimes there are some real surprises!!

UNITED STATES QUARTER DOLLARS!!
The United States Quarter Dollar is
a HOT Collectible! You can start in 1932 with the silver issues and work all the
way up to the present day STATES QUARTER coins! No matter what your interest,
these are FUN coins to collect! Of course, it is very difficult to find silver
quarters in rolls but anything worth doing should be a challenge! The good stuff
does turn up every once in awhile!!

be a great source of collectible coins! Silver Kennedy Halves can be found!
Proof coins turn up now and then!! Best of all, Franklin and Liberty Walking
Half Dollars are sometimes "Found In Rolls"! The Liberty Walking type half
dollar is one of the most beautiful United States coins that has ever been

UNITED STATES DOLLARS!!
The United States Dollar is often
thought of as our most collectible coin. This especially goes for the older
Silver coins of the late 1800s and early 1900s! Let's not forget the Eisenhower
Dollars when we think of "The CARTWHEELS", as the large dollar coins are
lovingly called! The current smaller issues are also a lot of FUN to collect!

UNITED STATES ERROR COINS!!
Error coins are the result of a
mishap during the minting process. Some coins may be struck off-center while
others may be struck through unusual objects. Errors may be similar in type but
unique since each individual coin is the result of a mistake in the minting of
that particular coin! These are always FUN to collect!

UNITED STATES VARIETY COINS!!
Unlike error coins which are the
result of a mishap during the minting process, Varieties can be attributed
to a particular die and all coins struck from that die are exactly the same.
There are gradations based upon the wear of the die called Early Die State,
Mid Die State and Late Die State but true varieties can still be traced back
to particular dies. The Classic 1972 Doubled Die Obverse Lincoln Cent is an
example of a variety! Collecting Varieties can be FUN and very challenging!
